Engineering Technician Review

Since I started the adult apprenticeship in Engineering Mechatronics my day to day activities include shadowing the shift senior techs and assist with brake-down issues on Production lines. Some tasks are located for me maintenance planing and I carry them out under senior tech supervision.

As part of the learning curve I have learned to operate new machinery in engineering workshop - use electrical testing equipment - Learned how to read technical drawings - Produce component using hand tools - carry out maintenance schedule using SMP - Write/Modify SMP’s - Carry out 5s audits and safety inspections in workshop.

Considering that I have two young children at home and sometimes I have to seat down and write coursework after they gone to sleep, I never regretted starting it. If I knew better at the time I would done it before i did my Engineering Degree.

From the Nestle part of organisation everything was done according to requirements. I have regular review meetings with my mantour and discussions about my job logs. Were he will ask questions about my findings and maintenance tasks In completion we set up next meeting and to do tasks.

From day one of my secondment into adult Engineering Mechatronics level 3 program i have received full support from my manager and engineering development team. I can say that my time is 100% speed in engineering environment, either shadowing or carrying out tasks under supervision.

Training provider are doing their best considering the year we have had. Some modules were cancelled and some could not being delivered on line. Despite the difficulties we faced all teachers have been doing their best to assist me towards my qualification.

I graduated in Mechanical Engineering and started working as Technical Operator in Dolce Gusto at Tutbury . I always wanted to be part of the engineering department but it was essential to have time served apprenticeship in order to progress. Now that i am given this opportunity it is in my benefit to make the most out of it.

Tutbury factory is always involved in social activities and supporting local communities. Some of the activities are: Group training to improve teamwork 5 a side football tournament Running for charity and cycling work
