Electrical Technician Review

On a day to day basis we Carry out maintenance/repair tasks around site on assets that may be broke or at a time when they need routine maintenance.As well as this we carry out new installations to improve the station and have it running in a more efficient and economical state

During my time with this apprenticeship i definitely feel that i have learned new skills that i use on a daily basis at work to make the job easier and run in a efficient way. As well as this i feel that it has helped me to improve on my already existing skills.

I enjoy this programme as everyday it provides me the chance to learn new skills and develop my knowledge, work within a team environment and understand how your actions can impact your work and others around you and also that everyday your doing something different so no day is the same.

I'd say this is a very well organised and structured programme in the way you are inducted first to understand what is expected of you and what you are expected to achieve, as well as this the training they provide to give you a better knowledge for your job. Throughout this programme you are provide with constant support from your line managers and other employees which i find beneficial.

I receive a lot of support from my employer in the way that he is constantly checking up on me to see now my college work is going or how i am personally to make sure i'm okay. This eases the pressure for me as i then feel more comfortable to talk to him if i ever have any problems.

I feel that i receive a lot of support from my training provider whilst working towards my qualifications as they are there to provide me with assistance and guidance if i have any problems or question that i have with work we've been carrying out or an assignment we have been set.

I feel that my qualifications that i will receive from my training provider will help me to preform better in my role as it will allow me to put what i have learnt on a theory side of things into practice when im at work, as well as this it also allows me to expand my knowledge and come into my role having a better understanding of the job.

At my work there are a few extra-curricular activities in which we can get involved in such as company events or even events in which thye help out the local community by carry out jobs which may need doing but they have not got round to doing which will benefit them.

Yes

I would recommend this apprentice to a friend or someone i know of as i feel that it provides a good career path for you now and in the future as well as this i feel that it essentially sets you up for a job for life as long as you continue to do what is expected of you.

If i was to give anyone tips/advice when applying for SSE i would tell them to be themselves as i feel that this is the best thing you can do when applying for a job, but as well as this before you come to applying for the job or even at the interview stage make sure that you have a good understanding of the company and the role you are applying for and what they stand for and what is expected of you.
