To maintain and service substation equipment and to learn about the equipment in depth.
Yes I have learned lots of engineering principles and about the electricity grid. I have developed many existing skill with my maths and mechanical knowledge. But, my IT skills have improved a great deal.
I have enjoyed it very much so far. Its a great work life balance usually. The culture at Grid is great and you feel generally well cared for.
There has been a few alterations to the content but overall it is good. It is very my learner led and what you put in is what you get out. Times when we are 'on site' it is up to us to get involved with planned work.
It is well but very much up to you to manage issues and ask for help Usually people are helpful and will get back to try resolve issues.
They are supportive and try there best to get you to the standard that is required to pass.
Mostly i would agree that it gets me to a standard to be able to do basic maintenance. But I think the real learning begins at the end of the programme.
Yes they are but it up to individuals to get involved and sign up. They are spread broadly across the UK. But in each individual teams they are less to do. At the academy there is currently improvements made to have more activities where people are most likely to use.
Yes
It a great working environment and it is a good company.
