Working with a plumbing and heating engineer facing everyday problems within domestic properties, can be any scale of job from a dripping tap to a complete heating system renewal.
I have learnt many new skills through working four days a week on the job and learing skills physically and a real life situation. Learning theory and practical sides to heating and plumbing at college and applying them to when I work.
I enjoy the physical side, where you are the solution to people's plumbing issues and being a part of sorting that out can be rewarding. For myself I find it beneficial to gain knowledge from both college and work.
I do feel valued through the work, often people need an extra pair of hands and are grateful for the help
