Fabricator Review

My role is very good and I really enjoy it. I am a fabricator at Babcock and I am also leaning how to weld and get my level 1 welding course. Most days I am working with hand tools and the machines but some other days I am working I. The welding bays.

I have learnt so many new skills because I come out of school and didn’t know much about engineering or fabrication so and now I know how to use all the machines and how to weld. So this has helped a lot with me learning everything that is needed when working at Babcock.

I love my programme because I am more hands on and I am a lot better in the workplace then I am in the class room. So for me it’s better because we only do 1 day in the classroom then we do 4 In the workplace so I find the programme very enjoyable.

We have a few different courses to do while working in the workplace and the instructors are so good they help when they can and also they are always on top of what then employees are doing they never let anyone fall behind or they never get confused on the different courses so it’s very good and organised.

When in the workplace we have loads of support as there are 2 instructors that walk around helping you whenever you need it. Also when we are in the classroom we have loads of help because if we are struggling then we can put are hand up and ask for help so we have a lot of support and help.

We get loads of help with everything regarding are jobs. Also they help us a lot with knowing what needs to be done to be able to complete the task and get the correct qualification. So they employers are very good at helping the employees and explaining what needs to be done to complete the jobs and work.

My role within Babcock is a fabricator and we have to complete a few different tasks within the workplace like sheet metal, plate work , welding etc. So doing all these different things that help with being a fabricator and doing what has to be don’t is better for me so I know if I am falling behind or if I’m going a little to fast I know how to pace my self.

I’ve only been with Babcock for about 10 months so I am not 100 percent sure is they have sports teams and stuff but i know when we are in the yard they do offer for us to go on holidays and enjoyable things with are workmates. So yes they do have activities in are work time.

Yes

Because it is one of the best paying jobs in the work and also the employees and the ADMs are so nice and caring that you just feel like you are at home and you don’t hate going to work like some other people I feel like in Babcock most people enjoy going to work.

Never give up because when you are applying it is hard and you do get frustrated with it but never give up because if you do get a space and offered a job then you are there for life and have made it in one of the best places you can.
