Maintenance engineer Review

I start the day with the daily checks on the services area e.g. boilers, compressors, water treatment plant etc. I then look at the book of weekly PMs to see what can be done, if theres not another improvement or breakdown job to be getting on with. I spend the rest of my day doing PMs or breakdown jobs that may occur.

Yes. I have learnt all about how the services area works at Britvic. this includes running the boilers, compressors, water treatment plant etc. I have increased my mechanical knowledge greatly and have started to learn a bit more about electrics. I will be moving to the facilities area soon where I will increase my electrical skills more.

I enjoy my apprenticeship a lot. I wouldn't want to be working in any other profession and I don't think I'd want to be doing my apprenticeship anywhere else. Britvic leeds has welcomed me into the company and I feel I have settled In very very well.

the programme is very well structured. the balance of college and work time is managed very well and I feel I have plenty of support if I need help at both work and college. there are plenty of resources available to me and if I require additional resources, they can be made available.

I receive a lot of support. [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] is very supportive about my education and my progression to becoming a highly skilled engineer. he see's training courses and additional help as a necessity, not an obligation. I am very happy with the support I have received through my journey so far.

I receive as much help as can be given to me considering I am doing a higher level course. I am very happy with the support I receive from my teachers and if I require additional support they are always happy to help me as much as they're allowed.

I don't feel as though what I am currently learning does help much towards my role. the first year of college has helped a lot as that gave me the basic principles of engineering. this year we are doing a project and maths, which doesn't play much part in helping me in my role. next year of HNC will though as I am doing plc and electrics.

there is a football tournament that happens between all the different shifts. this happens every year and allows people to get involved in a sport. there also comes up stuff like the tough mudder for anyone wishing to participate. we occasionally go out together as a team for a few drinks and a meal.

Yes

they have welcomed me into the company very well. everyone here is very friendly. the quality of engineering is very high and I feel I will learn a lot here. my manager [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] is very helpful and all the managers I have met have always been sound. would definitely recommend.

make sure you have experience in an engineering environment whether this is practically e.g. fixing cars or motorbikes, or at college e.g. doing product design for GCSE or a level. be confident and friendly as you'll need to be communicating constantly with people when you work at Britvic.
