Maintenance Process Specialist Review

My role is an mechanical engineering and production combined role, im responsible for repairing any production critical breakdowns and ensuring that the plant is running to its full capacity at all times. I also work alongside the shift teams to aid them with the day to day production needs, with tasks such as making up the products and packing the finished product.

I have learnt a full new skill set with my role, i have learnt how to repair mechanical equipment from start to finish with items such as pumps, gearboxs, agitators and fans. i have also learnt how to use the control systems that are in place and how to correctly interact with these to allow me to run the production Successfully.

I have enjoyed my program fully, this has been down to the high level of training that i have recieved throughout my program, the helpfulness and willingness of the employees to aid my development and the working environment that i have been in has allowed me to trully develop my skills for this role.

The program is well structured with help and support available throughout. i have been able to ask for advise when ever i needed it as well as been mentored throughout to ensure that i was getting the best exposure to the role, allowing me to gain the maximum out of my time on the program.

The support that i have got from my employers has really helped me with my personal development throughout my training course. They are always looking for ways to give me additional training and always available for information or advise for any questions that i may have with regards my work.

My training provider gave me a great level of support when it came to working towards my qualifications, my learning and development officer was great for me as he was always available to ask for any advice as well as offering his opinion on the work that i was completing and ensuring that i was able to complete it to the highest standard.

The qualification that i completed gave me a great understanding of the basic engineering techniques that i would need to be able to complete my jobs on a day to day basis as well as well as giving me a view of the types of equipment that i will be coming into contact with whilst in my work place.
