Engineer Review

Metrology engineer so my day to day revolves around measurement and analysis of dimensional data to improve overall quality of cars and to better practices whilst doing so.

Defiantly, learnt how to communicate with outside departments better as well as tailor-make my skillset to revolve around metrology.

I enjoy my program but I would say a lot of it is left to your own motivation. And it is up to you to push yourself to open more doors. For me i had that motivation there to do well but there was no real push to improve from others

The organisation isn't great and a lot of things are disorientated and provide numerous follow up attempts. But most of the time it is adequate

You receive what you need but if you ask and keep on asking you will eventually get that support, whether its something the management set up or something you have yourself. But whichever route you go you will get what you require but most of the time it isn't as straight forward as it seems.

You de receive very good support from the training provider doing the practical as well as BTEC and they are always happy to give you a hand to complete the task.

The training provider was good however was not tailored to my role so I cannot provide a subsequent answer. For me maybe the odd few subject such as lean and CAD, are used somewhat as they are quite generic however the things you learn within those subjects are generic so they are not tailored which sometimes makes it difficult to transpose to actual roles.

There are networking events which pop up quite frequently but since finishing the apprentice I haven't been asked to do any events.

Yes

Because the work is interesting and provides a good work/life balance. As well as company benefits alongside pay are quite rewarding.

Try to have relevant experience in place rather than tangled up with qualifications. As if you have no practical experience this something that will be heavily criticized.
