Mechanical Fitter Review

As a mechanical fitter I react to breakdowns and complete planned maintenance. I am responsible for my safety and others around me and I need to communicate with my peers and managers.

I have learned and developed many new skills including my ability to problem solve and some mechanical principles.

I enjoy the challenges that come with the job and the college work, the college could try to be more organised as this would make it easier on learners.

Whilst at work it is very organised and there is always a structure to where and what you will be doing. At college there some structure but the organisation could be better.

My employer is very supportive during the time in my apprenticeship, they always offer help if needed and dedicate time if I am struggling with my college work.

They try to support you where they can but they struggle to maintain staff so this proves difficult, because of the struggle for staff I often get a change in teacher which makes it more difficult to keep track of everything.

Some of the subjects in my qualification do translate to my role for example the mechanical principles lectures do give me a deeper understanding to what I'm fixing. Others feel like they are unnecessary and feel like they do not translate.

There are extra-curricular activities I don't know of all of them but recently there has been go-karting and bowling.

Yes

It is a good company to work for you felt like you are looked after and that people actually care for your health and wellbeing.

Unsure.
