Inverter Engineer Review

My role is in inverter delivery. Interfacing with suppliers and internal stakeholders to ensure that the inverter programmes are followed, activates are carried out effectively and on time by all parties and flagging where something is not on track and needs escalating.

I have learnt many skills. Ultimately I have gained knowledge of how a part is developed with a supplier to meet gateways on time and the significance of those gateways in ensuring commodity maturity and mitigating risk / increasing chances of commodity success. To do this there are many skills needed

The programme is very challenging, at times too challenging for me. I really enjoy the challenge and how much it requires me to grow. Sometimes I feel the honest feedback is given too late, I'd prefer it earlier. Prevention is better than cure.

Generally it is well organised. There are inconsistencies with management style when it comes to apprentices experiences in the workplace but overall it has been well organised and every reasonable effort has been made to help when issues have been made.

There is a lot of support for me now. My first manager did not provide as much so I suppose it does depend on that. Outside of my immediate team, there are many departments within the company that offer support and opportunities especially to apprentices.

There is enough support with the content taught during the university times. There is a lack of clarity sometimes with assignment briefs and help to interpret them. The feedback is also very brief most of the time and it is hard to take much learning from it.

The course does provide a lot of relevant learning that is valuable to me in the workplace.

Not so much anymore, I have made some close friends here now and tend to stick with them. But when I first moved here I did get involved with social events at work and this helped me settle in somewhat.

Yes

The company provides a feeling of safety. It encourages people to try their best and not worry too much about making mistakes but rather supports you to improve when you do :)

I would say be brave and polite in your pursuit of effectiveness in your job. Living the exceptional with soul means bringing your true authentic self to work.
