Design Engineer Review

As a design engineer in the Hull and Outfit department, I am required to draw specific parts of the structure of the submarine. In order to draw these parts, we use CAD software to move around different parts of the submarine.

So far, I believe that I have further developed my CAD inventor skills and have gained a better understanding of what is required of me in the workplace.

I enjoy this programme as I have met a lot of good people who I enjoy working with and the job itself is interesting and challenging. The jobs vary each day and these are challenges that I enjoy encountering.

So far in the first year of the apprenticeship, I believe that the structure of the programme has been lacking in some areas, specifically the communication between one another. Due to the circumstances that have occurred, I fully understand why this is.

The support that I receive from my employer is good. They provide both mental and physical support and are very supporting with things such as assignments and work that is to be due.

Again, the support that I receive from my training provider is good and they are very supportive with the work they set. They have given me all the support I need and they all have a willingness to help.

They have provided us with the basic understanding of what will be required of me in my role.

We have not really been informed of any extra curriculum activities.

Yes

BAE systems are supportive and have provided me with the training necessary to succeed within the business. They have also allowed me to meet some great people of which I look forward to working with.

Be confident in yourself and make a difference. If my friends were to apply for a role, I would tell them to stock up on information about the role.
