Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Typical days for me consist of inspecting PCB for faults/damage/manufacturing issues, fault finding and investigation work, researching & trialing new materials/components. I have been given some responsibility as I am in charge of looking after specific tasks in the department.

I have really enjoyed the programme I am on as I have been able to learn a lot about the different departments and understand clearly how an aircraft operates with our products and the specific role they have.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have been able to enhance myself as a person by being provided opportunities within the company to better myself.
A lot of new skills I have learnt I have been able to pick up when moving across to different departments and learn the skills and techniques used. essentially you get out what you put in.

4/5
I have been able to identify/be aware of specific things that are going within the business that I wasn't aware of before. I have been able to put some of the theory I have learnt into practice in the roles I have completed.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
There are some. A few which are apprentice only however, they are mainly located in Derby as out main hub is there. There are some which are local but not as known to everyone and you may find out through asking someone. eg. after work football 7 aside.
