5/5
To manage, maintain and administer electrical equipment on AWE Nuclear Licenced premises.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
The good thing about AWE is every day is different, I enjoy this as you don't know what is ahead of you unless you are dealing with an issue which has already been planned, I enjoy the people I'm working with and there is never a sad face around.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, before i started working at AWE I had not knowledge of electrical equipment, the most i knew was what wires went into a light bulb and what they were, now my knowledge has advance for bigger, greater and more complicated electrical equipment
