Engineer Review

I am a new sites Fibre engineer. My day to day requires me to install and activate new build properties. this involves building the spine, installing splitters, installing cbts and splicing to plots. I am trained to commission and fit ONT in customer plots. I am also required to work in exchanges on OCR racks

I've definitely developed my interpersonal skills. These are very important in the role I am currently in and being outside of my comfort zone has definitely helped me in a positive way. I've also been able to develop my hands on skills in the development area as well which has been super helpful.

I find it a very good programme in terms of the opportunities I have been afforded in the business especially in my programme role as I was able to have a view of all the interesting projects that were taking place and I was able to get involved in them. Also within BT there are several extra programmes or opportunities such as volunteering or extra perks from the business, which are beneficial to me and help to enjoy the programme.

My programme has been structures well, we have taken part in NVQ days and University days where we get to study for exams. In my office i understand clearly what i am doing and i get to experience what different teams do every 6 months of my apprenticeship this is a good way to learn

I receive support in the form of my apprentice coach and manager . If I was struggling at work or needed any help I can speak to them. I know that I have the HR site to go to if im having any problems in the work place or need someone to speak to.

My training provider gives me as much support as I need when working towards my qualification. He supports me in a way that I feel works for me and coffee with biscuits are always available to make me comfortable. It overall an enjoyable qualification to work towards with the support needed to gain it

i feel that my qualification will help me to perform better in my role by identifying what i need to do in certain tasks. it helps me learn different things that i wouldn't normally know how to do without needing it at the time. i definitely feel it covers all aspects.

I am unsure if there is any extra curricular activities at my work. I do know that we are able to get discounts on selected days out, spas, gym memberships, cinemas, restaurant meals and things like that. I do think it would be great to have a football team at my work place.

Yes

I feel BT is a great company to work for as they are a globally known company. The company looks after its employees for example we get so many different types of clothing which help us at work whether it be a wet, cold or hot day. Also there are many benefits of working for BT.

I would say to others that are applying to BT to first research the company and prepare for the application stages through mock interviews. BT attracts a lot of applicants and only those that prove they are reliable and have initiative will be considered. Furthermore, prepare real life examples of how you have proved all the skills that the employer will be looking for.
