Sheet Metal Worker Review

I am a sheet metal worker and fabricator which involves creating parts from metal sheets which are then used in major components. On a day to day basis I would say that I spent a large amount of time reading documents which disclose the specifications of each product , from this i would then mark out each piece of metal using as little of the material as possible to ensure that nothing is wasted and everything is used in a way that ensures that money is not wasted. I would then use a multitude of manufacturing techniques to ensure that I make the product correctly.

I have learned how to manipulate the metal to ensure that I can make the product correctly and in a safe concise matter. I know how to correctly use abrasive disc tools as to get the correct shape and end result out of the product. I also learned three welding techniques which are TIG, MIG and Stick. These being value skills that will allow me to correctly and securely join two metal pieces together. I also know how to use heavy machinery to gain the correct metal shape.

I enjoy working and learning everyday, it gives me something to look forward too and I always have a spring in my step while at work. I have made many new friends and learned so many new skills which make me feel more confident as a person and make me want to go to work every day. I love my job and I know from joining this programme what career I would like to have for the rest of my life.

the programme is structured very well it is concise and thought ojt which ensures that i will get the best training possible and will therefore be as fit for the job as I possibly can be. The programme gives me a mixture of practical hands on learning and college work which ensures that I understand everything about my course and eventually job. It ensures that I have a balanced learning and practice aspect to the programme which allows for me to fine tune every skill I learn.

I receive support from my employer in many ways, this being from the physical object which I can use to get to a fully elevated understanding of what I am to do while working. At my place of work there are a multitude of tools which I can use to ensure that I am learning everything I can about manipulating sheet metal and I can therefore get the best results from everything I make. I ensure that i do everything to the best of my ability alongside this.

Derby college provide us with a multitude of different ways of of learning, this heing with classes and by showing us different models as to help with understanding. I always have resources if I require then which ensures that i have the highest chance of understanding what is going on during the teaching. I enjoy watching examples of what we are learning about and and other paper models and diagrams of what happens during each process.

Without being educated on what I am meant to be doing I wouldn't know how to correctly conduct an activity. I enjoy knowing the information behind an activity ir process so that I know whether or not I should be using the process on the product or not. If I didn't have the knowledge I could possibly conduct the job incorrectly and as a result I could lose the company money which I need to try and avoid to the best of my ability.

Royces offer lots of opportunities for extra curricular activities including sports and helping out at informational events. I know that there are rugby and football teams which compete in events for fun which help to boost moral around the company. Opportunities come up around RR so that everyone can continue to learn develop and because better at their jobs. I'd say that having these extra curricular activities ensures that moral is always high and workers have things to look forward too often.

Rolls Royce is a family and I would not know where i would be without them. It provides so many opportunities and so helps to give so much eduction to people of all ages and groups. It is a company that pioneers and inspires many people both nationally and globally. Being a part of this company is such an amazing opportunity that I would always recommend. It is a company to be proud of and is such a positive influence on engineering across the globe.

I would always say be confident fo not second guess yourself and ensure that you always strive to achieve the best from every situation. People at Rolls Royce want to strive to be the best and that is such an important quality. Most importantly I would say that you should just go for it, I applied thinking they would never want me and now I'm working hard in the first year of my apprenticeship.
