Apprentice Mechanic Review

by East Midlands Ambulance Service

Rating

6.5/10
  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • As an apprentice mechanic, I am part of the team that maintain the fleet of EMAS's ambulances to keep them working. Each day I will spend time cleaning the workshop. When that is complete I will work, either with a mechanic or on my own with my work being checked, on a variety of jobs on ambulances. Included in this would be servicing and carrying out diagnosis and repairs on the ambulance or inside the saloon.
