Engineering Apprentice Review

I normally cover the lines daily with breakdowns and do planned maintenance on machinery that isn't running. I work alongside the shift engineers as well. I attend the engineering morning meeting daily.

I learnt a lot about electrical fault finding, mechanical fault finding, PLC work, contractor management, LOTO, driving MEWPs and taking on responsibility in an engineering environment.

I do enjoy it, it is an interesting place to work

Kind of organised - college days are all organised but you are put with the shift engineers with all APLs not being line side and can't really see what you are up to day to day.

I get support I need from engineering side

It is predominantly up to you to get work done and evidence, they push you to an extent but it's mainly down to you

It makes you more aware of your job and the importance it has throughout the company and the business. Also, you learn more making you a valuable asset.

No

Yes

It is an interesting place to work and the people here are all friendly and helpful when needed

Make the most out of every day and be engaged when a job is on rather than being distracted and not caring
