Apprentice HGV technician Review

I carry out routine maintenance on HGV and LCV vehicles, ensuring they are road worthy to Balfour Beatty standards, which goes above and beyond legal standards for the road. I prepare vehicles for MOT tests and carry out inspections and repairs to damages and servicing.

I have learned how to complete repair tasks on vehicles as well as developing my communication skills within the role.

I enjoy my programme most of the time as it is a satisfying role and I play a part in gaining Balfour Beatty s overall goals.

My programme is well structured as my college dates are sent to me in advance which allows me to plan when to complete job cards for and allows me to prepare.

I am encouraged by my employer to progress in my apprenticeship and try new activities which I would not otherwise have taken part in.

My training provider provides plans for completing my qualification such as updating me on what topics I have still to cover and what I should focus on in the workplace.

I can relate the theory side of my role (mostly at college) to the practical side of my role (in the workplace) which allow me to gain the knowledge required before starting a new practical activity.

My depot hosts an annual barbecue event which is a great social event and allows you to meet others in the business who you otherwise may not have met.

Yes

Balfour Beatty has high safety standards and cares about its employees.

Be honest and research the company to gain some information on the business.
