CHP engineer Review

My role involves servicing and repairing the chp engines, which give heat and power to surrounding areas. I will normally shadow a engineer and help him with certain problems. I will also pick up parts from cannock or go to Leicester to complete similar tasks as I would in Birmingham.

Yes I have learnt many new skills for example, I have learnt skills such as working as a team and using inicitive techniques to help me with problems. Also, my social skills have been improved from how they were previously, as now it is apart of my job to meet new people and socialize.

I do enjoy my programme to a good extent, the reason being that I have learnt a lot from the experience and the way that fellow engineers have been with me has been respectful and refreshing. I am always happy with my choice of being a apprentice over going to university.

The organisation of my programme was not as good towards the start, however as time went on the programme was improving and I was able to understand the details of the programme. Overall, the structure of the programme has improved and it definetly runs more smoothly than it was before.

I do recieve alot of help from my employer, whenever I have a problem or question about the programme, I can tell my employer about the issue and he will have a discussion with me about it. If your employer is not available ask other employees as they can also help.

I recieve alot of help from my training provider, whenever I have a problem or question about the qualifications, I can ask him about the issue and he will have a discussion with me about it. If your training provider is busy don't be shy to ask other students they can also help.

What I learn on a day to day basis does link to the work that I will be doing once I am fully qualified. As I have not completed my programme yet I do not have total knowledge about the job role, but hope to once I am fully qualified.

They company does have events such as apprentice of the year, which all engie apprentices can take part in. Also, the company does host celebrations for the employees, for example the Christmas party, summer party and charity days which take place within the company and all employees are welcome to participate.

Yes

It is a company which will take abit to get used to however once you are able to get used to the job role, you would definitely enjoy yourself and be able to improve your engineering skills and your personal skills. You will always wake up excited to find out what you are doing for the day.

Firstly, do not be shy with applying for Engie apprenticships. Secondly, Lĺlyou may have to work abit more than you expect and have to get used to working under time limits and doing repairs and jobs to the best standard. The jobs themselves are as hard as you make them. Finally, take pictures of step by step instructions for each job and make notes to help you remember what you did.
