Engineer Review

Lots of office work, updating documents, attending meetings and moving around site to complete tasks.

There are lots of new software to get to grips with so this is something I have had to learn.

I am enjoying all of the new experiences. The opportunity to get paid to go to uni is a bonus.

It is organised, we move placements on a 6 month rotation for the first 3 years and spend the last 2 years in our exit role.

There are members of the early careers team who are always available to offer support but placements can be very busy.

Not much, we are left to do our uni work in our own time.

Again, not much as the degree is not tailored to my role.

There are lots of off the job tasks to get involved in. We have to do 20% of our hours as off the job learning.

Yes

Competitive wage, friendly work environment, job for life if you want it.

Prepare sufficiently for the interview and apply for various levels of apprenticeship. Even if you start lower, you can build yourself up.
