Mechanical Fitter Review

My role is a mechanical fitter which means I work fitting and repairing engines, pipes, hydraulic systems and so on. On a day to day basis we are in class working on knowledge questions or in the workshop conducting a practical assessment.

I have learnt multiple skills such as using specialist tools, working in a engineering environment and working as a team.

I have enjoyed the practical side of my programme and enjoy working in a workshop, however working in the class is not as enjoyable and we are often told to look things up instead of being taught.

My programme has many benefits such as a good management and instructor team who are always happy to help when asked but there is a lack of communication between instructors on multiple occasions.

We receive good support from our managers, HR, instructors and so on

We receive mixed amount of support depending on the trainer with some always checking in on us and others showing up once per day.

My trainers have helped me to feel more confident when it comes to working towards my qualification.

There are multiple extra curricular activities and clubs available which support a wide range of audiences.

Yes

I feel like BAE Systems is a caring company and a amazing choice for anyone wanting an engineering job.
