  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • My role involves travelling to hospitals and fixing any problems on the equipment. I have to make plan my day y making sure I leave with plenty of time to arrive at the correct hospital and making sure that I have all I need to perform a job on me. My role also involves making sure that the time allocated for a certain call is enough to fix the equipment in order to avoid placing another call and keeping the machine out of service for longer than it should. If extra time or parts ae needed, I will have to let head office know in order to place another call. It is important to make sure that all parts are ready for the next time we come in, in order to make sure the job can be completed.

I can better understand problems and find quick or temporary solutions that can keep customers happy and equipment safe to operate. During my time with Siemens I have also developed my ability to interact with customers and making sure that I understand the environment in which I work in and how some patients have to be treated during important times.

Furthermore I appreciate all the effort my manager places into the work and his ability to help me perform better during my work.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • I feel that more communication could be provided from my training provider at college. From time to time we do have small talks about my progress in college but I feel that more meeting could be done to monitor more closely how I could improve during my qualification and more meeting will also result in making sure that I know what can be done to go forward.

After these meeting there are also social activities with work where engineers can go and enjoy a nice day with the team and relax from work.

  • Siemens has a lot to offer and it is a growing company which means it is a very secure position.
