my job title is gas distribution maintenance E&I technician, my jobs tasks include maintence tasks such as calibrating instruments, electrical testing and other maintenace tasks
ive learnt new hand skills, electrical wiring skills and many other skills to do with my job role.
it is a brilliant apprenticeship with lots of opportunities for the future, everyone is really friendly and the quality of training is very high!
from the start my manager showed he appreacited us and that he will help me through my apprenticeship, meeting the whole team for the first time i thought would be hard to intergrate at first but they were all really friendly and welcoming
everything is well organised but you are expected to make some arrangements yourself
Trainers are always around in the day to talk to and they will support you, plus your training manager is always at the end of the phone for you
mentors and line managers are always in contact checking everythings running smoothly and if we have any problems.
Its an excellent package for an apprenticeship
there are company events set up like outward bounds, sailing competitions etc.
Yes
because its an amazing opportunity for anyone to get into engineering, all the staff are friendly and will always support you
be yourself in the interview process, research the company before hand and relax!
