maintenance operative Review

on a day to day basis we are given various tasks using a variety of different trades. some of these are tasks such as painting and decorating, bricklaying, joinery in carpentry, Plumbing and a little bit of electronics, We also have our journals that we have to do every morning.

since starting the program i have learnt a lot of basics in many trades like plumbing i have learnt how to join pipes together using different methods like soldering, compression fittings, push fit fittings, and low carbon steel fittings. With these new skills i have learnt i can put the minto use in the real world.

when im here at pgl i have a great time, all of the staff are polite and love to have a good laugh whilst at the same time still getting all of the training done that needs to be done including my portfolio that needs to be kept up with the practical tasks.

i think the programme is structured well as we have timetabled trades for every day, monday and tuesday i have property maintenance, Wednesday i have plumbing, Thursday i have carpentry and friday i have plumbing. there has been a few times when we have had nothign to do for an hour or two but we find something to do.

i receive an adequate amount of support from my employer when i need it but they don't give too much help as the tasks i do are meant to be challenging. when i do receive support it is very accurate and helps me with exactly what i'm doing.

i receive a very good amount of support from my training provider when i need it and the information i receive is very accurate and helps me out when i am stuck. I also have someone near at all times so that when i'm doing a qualification i will always have help near.

i think that the qualifications that i get through my training provider help me out when im having to do tasks around the center as it gives me better knowledge on how to do things properly when i go out on site. It also helps me perform better in my role due to me not having to ask what to do as i already know how to.

at Pgl, i'm not involved in any extra-curricular activities and i don't know if there are any extra curricular activities. i think if they were to introduce any activities 7 a side football would be a good one to add as a few people enjoy football around the center.

Yes

i would recommend this company to a friend as we have been offered many amazing opportunities in the couple of months being here, one of them being offered to go to america for a couple of weeks for work experience in different countries. And other one being such as a chance to go to the NEC in Birmingham.

if i was applying to this company i would double check to make sure that you are applying for the course that you want to go on and if you're not sure then you can try out trainee ships just to make sure you know exactly what you're going to be doing when you get to the real thing.
