Mechanical maintenance apprentice in Fuel Route Response. Anything from overhauling pump units, valves to large items of plant such as the fueling machine, burst can detection plug units and much more. Always with an experienced technician to learn the skill of the craft from.
Enhanced basic tool knowledge and usability, everyday is a learning day.
some days are very un-motivating others and good. I wouldn't say the 'work' gets much better than good, sometimes repetitive.
Very.
Not very structured once you return on site as an apprentice, at all. Although, it seems very structured as a technician which is only 3 months away (hopefully).
Not lots not little, somewhere in between.
Financial support, very good. I'm not aware of any other methods of support other than the union i pay into.
Not well at the current time, but as an apprentice i can't complain.
Not that i'm aware of.
Yes
Good money, good skill, some good guys, transferable worldwide, 2 years in Portsmouth was great!
if you're unsure about what you want to do and like the idea of training and being paid then go for it.
