Machinist Review

My Job role is to practise making machines parts using basic machines, I slowly move up to more advanced jobs and the techniques of how to do them as the year progresses and also with each passing year, I will continue to do this until I am considered a qualified machinist

The program, although as good as it is, I feel it could somehow be a bit more structured at some point, in the first year it is clear what you’re doing but after, it feels a bit lost sometimes when there is no work available due to back logs, it’s no one’s fault it just happens

I receive plenty of support from my employer, my manager is always on hand to help me out and is very supportive of outside work I may have to be done in work time which is a massive bonus! Any questions I have always get answered img with any problems, so a lot of support

I get loads of support from my employer, they are always asking how everything is going and asking and offering any help if I need it, I can always ask someone anytime for help. The older apprentices are the best ones to ask as they’re just done it, so between everyone I get lots of help toward my quals

When I am fully qualified I’m sure I will feel up to the task of any job I get set due to the very good training I am being given, my role as a fitter will be easier because of this when I do become qualified to work on my own

Yes

It is a very good place to work and the pay scheme is good for a young person to be in a good wage in no time at all, the shifts are very nice, as are most of the people! There are few wildcard ideas at some point but there union normally shut them down
