Electrical Electronic Commissioning Engineer Review

I work at Harrods operating the fire and security systems on a day-to-day basis. Learning the basics of electrical installation commissioning and installing components. There is a lot of work that needs to be done throughout the day as there are many sites open due to the redevelopment of the whole store

Yes I have learnt many things ranging from people skills to hand skills, I would eventually like to become a senior commissioning engineer and I’m starting to learn the basics already so I already have one foot through the door. I had developed many skills even including health and safety on site.

I really enjoy what I do, despite the commute from Kent into London once I am at work I really enjoyed it and the time flies by. I feel as if I am going to be very successful in the job field I am in because I enjoy what I do

My apprenticeship is very structured I know know who I can talk to if I have a problem The management have really looked after me despite being off for a long period of time due to sickness. I attend college once a week and work on site for the remainder

My employer is very supportive as I previously said having a lot of time off due to sickness they have really supported me throughout the apprenticeship. If I am struggling with college work they would offer extra help or classes to increase my confidence to achieve the highest I can achieve.

My employer is extremely supportive. Always asking for feedback about the college and how I am finding things and if I am enjoying the programme. I am currently studying a higher national certificate in electrical/electronic engineering which is a challenging course but my employer has supported me through out.

I have been pushed to enrol for higher qualifications and courses, when I first started I was on a national level 3 extended diploma in engineering, then my employer enrolled me on a level 2 performing engineering operations which I completed and now on a higher national certificate in engineering thanks to the support.

Yes I have attended some professional networking events to help employ the next years apprentices which was a good opportunity to speak to other people my age from different cultures and backgrounds a about the great opportunities Siemens offers and how I have never looked back since I was employed

Yes

Because they are one of the pioneers of the industry, leading the way for smaller companies, they have such a well structured employee service portal to notify each colleague about jobs, there is also SSN (Siemens social network) which is a platform dedicated to communicating with colleagues around the world

Don’t give up. I was turned down many times for an apprenticeship but I kept going, gaining so much experience from interviews and assessment days, I am extremely glad I found the apprenticeship for me and I have not looked back since I was employed. I recommend an apprenticeship to anyone.
