science manufacturing technician Review

basic role involves vessel and machine cleaning. interacting with the manufacturing process to meet certain product specifications. we also perform plant checks that check the manufacturing process and the standard of our mechanical equipment. we also use a DCS system to monitor the process and make changes to recipes based on certain specifications.

i have learnt numerous new skills in my job role, some of which are specific to my job and some of them are much broader. for example, my knowledge of manufacturing process and the chemical manufacturing industry has improved enormously. my social skills have also imrpoved as you have to be able to communicate effectively in this environment.

so far i have thoroughly enjoyed my apprenticeship. the work environment that i am in is very good and the people that i work with are great. i also enjoy the job that i do as i get a sense of satisfaction and achievment when i complete a job as i get to be involved in it from start to finish.

my apprenticeship has been fairly well organised given that it ran through covid. we have regular progress meetings where we discuss how my apprenticeship is going and what i need to do in order to get a full time job. the college work is also well thought out and organised.

i receive fairly good support from my employer. the operators and engineers that i work with on a day to day basis are very supportive of my apprenticeship which is always helpful. i also receive a decent amount of support from the apprentice team which can be quite hard for them given the amount of apprentices on site.

i have received a fair amount of support from the training provider towards my qualifications i. the support for my city and guilds qualification was very good and my tutors were very active with helping us pass our exams and learn the units required for us to pass the apprenticeship.

i feel like my college qualifications give me a good base knowledge of the role that can help me progress in my career as the units are not solely focused my job role. however, i feel like my NVQ was not relevant to my job and in fact hindered my apprentice training as i couldnt focus on my on the job training.

the social side at my work is excellent and is deffinetly one of the best parts of the job. there are numerous sports and social clubs that involve everyone on site. this allows for a good networking environment which in turn leads to greater morale amongst the employees. there are always shift days out aswell whether it be going round leeds or going to the races.

Yes

solenis is a great place to work especially if you are younger as with the aging workforce there is plenty of place for progression in the job role. it also has a great social side and the work can be rewarding if you are not afraid of long hours or hard work.

if you are applying to solenis it is important that you are confident about yourself and you are both good working in a team environment and you can also work well on your own. you also shouldnt be afraid to ask questions as this shows a desire to learn which always looks good.
