Maintenance Technician Review

My role is to assist to maintain and repair any issues within the area that i am placed in at that time and gain information of this area so that i am aware of how it functions and usually follow maintenance team around with breakdowns and smaller jobs throughout the day.

I have learned many new skills and developed many skills also. I have learned a lot of hands on skills and different techniques to take on tasks as well as methodology of what is the best way to take on tasks and to assess any risks that may be involved within the job.

I enjoy the programme thoroughly and am impressed with how it is ran. it is set out well and gives me plenty of opportunity to improve and learn new skills throughout.

the organisation is good in the programme, however there are areas that could be improved as sometimes it is hard for me to locate my team sometimes and am unsure as to where they could be throughout the day. overall, the structure is pretty decent.

I receive plenty of support from my employer and if there is ever any issues then i ensure that i get help and help is always provided no matter what the situation is.

The support from the training provider is also very good and are helpful most if the time. they usually provide feedback and help when required to do so. i did have an issue with one of the training instructors as they were not too helpful when i was struggling and felt belittled by them when doing a task. overall i do feel that most of the time they do provide help and support.

I do feel that in parts the qualification helps with my role, however, there is a lot of times when my qualification work hasnt been too necessary with my job but i understand why i would need these skills.

I am unsure on this, if there are then i am unaware of these.

Yes

BMW Group is a great place to get in to and is great for those who lik engineering and manufacturing. it is enjoyable and you will learn many skills and the majority of people that i have worked alongside have been very friendly and helpful to me when i have needed it.

You need to have a fair amount of knowledge before joining on engineering but not advanced and you need to be determined to complete tasks no matter what it takes and how you're feeling. You need to be able to work on your own but essentially as a team as the majority of your time will be working with others so it is important that you are confident and easy to get along with so that you and your team can have the best outcomes.
