My role is to repair and maintain light commercial vehicles. Mostly this involves servicing and a range of diagnostic repairs.
I have learnt a significant amount about the construction and operation of vehicles and how to repair mechanical parts.
I enjoy my program a lot.
The workplace side of it is good, the education programme however is somewhat lacking. There seems to be a lack of trainers employed and the whole thing seems disorganised and at times unplanned.
A good amount.
The support is good, just the delivery lacks.
A lot, it is vital to understanding the job you do.
No.
Yes
The benefits are good, and it's a fairly relaxed and comfortable place to work as long as you don't mind the inherent "bureaucratic" parts of working for a large company.
Make sure you like the people in the branch you work with, you only really talk to those in your local area each day.
