Civil Asset Managment Review

Surveying company assets and requesting work that needs to be done to maintain the buildings function. This process is carried out by two different engineers the building surveys are carried out by a system engineer and the requesting of work is done by an equipment engineer. I also attend meetings about work that is been done.

I have learnt what is required to work safely in a nuclear facility, this includes completing any health and safety paper work before any job can begin. This also includes pre job briefs that are completed at the start of every day then signed of and it is are reasonability to send them off for saving.

In the first few weeks it was hard to find work but since then the programme has been very enjoyable and I have been busy. to make the first few weeks more enjoyable there could be a mock survey that all the civil apprentices could do and that gets checked by a system engineer.

The programme was very well organised with getting all our necessary training done as early as possible. The training that was done was very well structure in a clear and concise manner and was easy to take in and use at work. The necessary e learning that we had to do could have been made clearer.

I am sat next to my line manager all day and can always ask for help and support. this is very helpful for any time I am filling so paper work out for the first time, I can just ask for help meaning when I do it again it easier.

We hold quarterly meetings with a person from gen2 and my line manager, this is a great help because it allows my line manager to know how my collage is going and it allows gen2 to know how I am doing at work. Also we can take what is learned in collage and apply it to work.

At the moment not very as its a broad spectrum of what we are learning but as it continues it will become more specific and thus more helpful to my work. This will start to happen in year 2 and will be more applicable to the work I will be doing.

I have not see any social activities or sports teams available yet but Sellafield is very good at organising professional networking events and allowing use to attend. Also we joined the CIOB and they offer a lot of opportunity to attend professional networking events weather that be dinners or presentations.

Yes

It offers the opportunity to make a long and successful carrier, with good benefits and plenty days of holidays. It also gives you the chance to come out with a good qualification meaning you can progress in the world of engineering. For me personally it also allows me to stay close to home and the lake district.

What I would say would be to work hard and try to gain as much experience as possible so you can become a valuable asset to any company. Also get the best possible grades you can, in your degree so you can become a chartered engineer and move up in the pay grade.
