Engineering Technician Apprentice Review

I am an Engineering Technician apprentice working in Stage 2 Electrical Detail Design Cable Management. My daily tasks involve working on a diagram displaying the complete network for the mission network, displaying what cables are on them and proving that it is of adequate size for its purpose. Once I have completed this or sections of, I begin to route the cables in a routing software called CMPic.

I have gained college qualifications, SVQ's, in house training for modelling and output drawings. I have on the job experience relating to my position so that I can now function without much assistance.

I enjoy the program as my work is interesting and challenging. I can apply myself and I'm beginning to see the work I've been focussing on come to fruition which is very rewarding.

I feel valued within my team as a fully functional member. However if their is something I still don't quite understand, anyone within the team would happily take the time to explain it to me and ensure I am fully understanding of all tasks, issues and methods of practice.

The programme has been well structured throughout my time in it. A good balance of design and practical exposure was ensured in my early years to ensure a greater understanding of shipbuilding as a whole.

I have received excellent support from my training officer, I haven't had any issues so far but I am confident in the training staffs ability to ensure that every possible support is given

I received strong support from my employer. Again I have not had any issues but in general day to day working, any issues I come across are broken down and explained to me.

I am satisfied with my salary and feel it is a fair representation of my position within the company.

Their are opportunity's of a social, fitness and leisure nature offered by the company.

Yes

Good company to work for with great experience and interesting work.

To be confident in yourself and to present yourself as keen and with drive.
