seniornetwork technician Review

when I will be fully qualified then I will have to look through specific sheets -Nothing found- reviewing when our contract partners (AMEY) crew closes a job down as having found nothing and making sure the photos agree -Assurance checks- making sure our contract partners when they close a job down as a blockage that it actually was and wasn't a flooding -Combined sewage overflow- Golden Measures checks- reviewing when our own technicians have checked our combined sewage overflow that are allowed to contentedly spill under extreme conditions and making sure they are running as they should be -2 contractor surveys per month- making sure they have all equipment etc.

How to deal with contractors How to manage the expectation of the customer around complex repairs How to be proactive to evolve yourself in other activities that aren't apart of your base duties I have built on my knowledge learnt in college and further developed that to continue learning more around the area of engineering

I enjoy the opportunity to learn new skills and undertake new training that will be transferable into real life as well as my working life. I also enjoy being placed into a new team who work with each other to offer help and guidance with the same common aim of doing the best for our customers

The structure of the project is well planned. Apart from the first few weeks which were spent at the lower level college learning metal working skills which wasn't at all relevant. We spent the first few weeks getting all the training out the way so we were allowed to work going forward.

I receive a lot of support from my peers who have the knowledge and experience I hope to one day poses. They answer any questions I may have and try there best to guide me in the right direction. I have been fortunate enough to have some people let me shadow them around for the week so I can see exactly there specific role within the business and how each person plays a role in the bigger picture.

My tutor at college is very helpful and is always able to answer questions I have in regards to our classwork, assessments or anything engineering in general. I feel comfortable and have enough rapport to be able o sit down with him and ask how I can improve on aspect of my work.

The qualification I am undertaking is a general engineering qualification so only has limited information on sewerage / assets relating to sewerage, plumbing or drainage. The parts we do cover have some relevance towards my job but it covers more general engineering. It does cover CDM2015 which looks at managing a project and contractors, this will be more relevant.

I do not currently undertake any extra activities through work, I spend Tuesday evening traveling to a holiday in for my college in Wolverhampton the next day, I get back late Wednesday from college. I spend any spare time working on my HNC level 4 or NVQ level 4 qualification and I will soon be spending one day a week volunteering at the linking lives charity as well so my time outside of work is limited. I have been offered a few activities to join in (such as charity football etc.) but have not personally had the time.

Yes

They like to see you work your way up through the company so there is the opportunity to progress through to management or even other roles across the business that may interest you.

Be confident in your interview. Show them how you are able to communicate with all types of people. During activities take control but don't neglect others opinions. Show them that you have lots of extra curricular activities you undertake to show you can mange your time well. Ask questions about the business to show you have done some research and care about the business.
