My role as an apprentice is to get an understanding of the theory and practical skills in electrical marine engineering. We carry out tasks that build up our knowledge and confidence.
A lot of new skills have been developed such as building an understanding in electrical engineering such as circuits and components. As well as this existing skills such as team building and communicating has been improved.
