Quality Engineer Review

Continuous improvement of production quality. Initial analysis of a defect and problem solving to eliminate the defect, working with colleagues to identify ways of improving the process or removing risks during production of our cars to ensure the defect won't happen again. Ultimately reducing wasted time and cost.

I have developed many skills during my time at Bentley so far. Including my networking skills, communication, teamwork and many other soft skills whilst learning many new hard skills required for the job such as use of internal systems. There are many training courses on offer to develop skill sets.

I enjoy the job because of the variation, the opportunities to spend time in other areas to find out what they do and develop other skills. My team are super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. willing to support when needed. Everyone is supportive, approachable and friendly. It has exceeded my expectations.

Induction - very organised and welcoming. Programme has good structure with work to Uni balance. Internal training opportunities. Support from many (Manager, Mentor and early careers team directly) I feel included within the team and treated like my colleagues with challenges thrown my way and plenty of support with these provided.

I have plenty of support with direct manager, mentor and HR member that I can reach out to for help. They are very accessible and will make sure I am independent and challenged while ensuring to help when I need it. They always express their willingness to support when required.

My University provide a useful tutor with availability to contact via email or Teams. However, they are not as accessible as I would like as it can take some time to communicate with them. I enjoy aspects of the University side of the apprenticeship but I prefer work.

It varies from module to module. Some are more applicable to my role than others. I believe I gain some useful knowledge through my training provider but I also believe I would be able to perform the role without the theory and purely with the training from my colleagues.

There are many events within Bentley to get involved in and these vary. Some of these are purely internal and some involve the local schools and colleges. We have social events arranged for early careers colleagues to allow for networking. There is a gym onsite which I attend after work.

Amazing Employer. Very welcoming and good structure to the apprenticeship programme. many opportunities available and lots of support. Along with being rewarding both in the role and with the salary. Plenty of learning and well structured supported development.

Be yourself. Show your skills and support with evidence. Take advantage of opportunities made available to you and don't be afraid to ask questions where you have them. Everyone is willing to help, even if its can't be immediately.
