  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • I produce job packs for our engineers. I also process their timesheets and holiday requests to HR. I raise the opening notices and live jointing requests to the relevant companies.

    8/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • I have learnt more about the wider E.ON company and how it affects my section. I have learnt about project management which I have never done before.

    8/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I enjoyed learning new things throughout the course and have tried to use the new information at work.

    7/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • I think the training part of it is well organised as the modules follows the work done. Sometimes I find the 1-2-1 meetings with my development coach to not be much use or well organised. Sometimes I don't get a reply to emails to my development coach.

    6/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • I get a lot of support from my employer as whenever I ask a question that I am stuck on they are happy to help me with it.

    9/10
  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • I am able to email any queries but sometimes they do not get answered. I have been rushed at the end of the course to get it completed and I get told to do new things at the last moment which is stressful.

    5/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • It has made me think about the way others work and why they come across as they do and also how what I do and say can seem to others. It has got me thinking more about why we do the things we do.

    8/10
  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

    • No there is not.

    1/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend E.ON to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • It is a fair employer and is in the main open with us about everything that relates to us.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to E.ON?

    • Find out about the wider company as well as the section that you wish to join.
