Engineering technician Review

I currently spend 3 days on site and 2 days at college, daily tasks depend on the department which I am in as this changes every 3 months so that I gain a good understanding of the whole business. I am currently working with PSP's and this involves project work in which I am giving a project and can then work on throughout my placement.

I've furthered my team work skills and also when working alone too. I have been on training courses which include working in a CDM area safely. Fork lift training and cherry picker training have also been completed. I have completed a level 2 NVQ in engineering and am currently working towards a level 3 BTEC in engineering.

I thoroughly enjoy the programme as the people I work with are full of knowledge and willing to share this with me. I also have plenty to do and am constantly learning new skills.

I feel that I am valued by BMW group as teh tasks which I am given are used and therefore this shows what I am doing has a purpose and I am fully involved in a project when I am set to work on something therefore making it easier for me to learn as much as possible from the experience.

Training is provided when necessary and I currently work in each placement for 3 months and then move to another placement, this helps me to gain a full understanding of how the company works and is therefore very beneficial to me. I have a weekly review with my mentor to ensure tasks which I have been set are being completed and I am having no difficulties, if so, then this is when these problems can be resolved.

I recieve as much support as is necessary and I am able to get in touch with people to help me if necessary either by phone or by email.

I recieve an equal amount of support from my training provider as do I from my employer and they are able to resolves issues if any arise quickly and efficiently.

Overall, the salary meets costs very well, living close to the plant is also beneficial to me.

Yes, I recently took part in a company event called mountain challenge which was very enjoyable, and their are many other events which take place also, so there is something for everyone.

Yes

Overall, you are well treated, paid well, and giving the chance to gain qualifications which are extremely beneficial, as well as that you also gain valuable experience too.

Education in the relevant subjects such as physics and maths would be useful as the first year involves a lot of this and so if you have studied these subjects recently it will help you. Although previous experience isn't required, it may give you a head start on others and therefore help you in the future.
