I am an electrical designer that conducts design work using CAD systems. The workload is very diverse, therefore I am constantly learning. The work I conduct holds high responsibilities as it contributes towards the real product and isn't just constantly in training environments.
I am constantly learning within my role and have developed new skills concerning cad work as well as the learning I receive from obtaining my NVQ in college.
I enjoy my job as it is in a friendly environment and I never feel overloaded or stressed concerning work.
