Skilled Fitter Review

My role is an apprentice fitter, this involves manufacturing wings. On a day to day basis I rivet bolts to construct the frame of the wing.

I have learnt and developed existing skills, my confidence has grown with the use of hand tooling and confidence when communicating with people. I have learn even more hand skills and ways to apply them in the production of aircraft.

I enjoy it a lot as I have always had an interest in planes and to help build them makes it more enjoyable.

It is reasonably organised, they are some miscommunications but normally sort everything out with a slight delay.

A lot of support, we have regular meetings to ask questions and meetings with our TTO’s to see our progress.

We get a lot of support, they always provide help if we need it or if we are struggling on certain things.

It helps a lot, everything we learn is to do with the job role and expands our knowledge.

Yes, there are a lot of networking we can do, there are school visits we can do to help others with their future.

Yes

It is a huge organisation and well organised work place which provides everything you need to get the job done.

Make sure you are prepared to put the work in and the more you put in, the more the employer does too.
