Mechatronics maintenance technician Review

On a day to day basis, my job involves looking after my section of the production line. fixing any faults that occur on the system. as well as helping out other departments and improving processes. when the line is not running i can find myself completing planed maintenance activity's. this can involve investigating issues or carrying out preventative maintenance.

I fell that the structure of the program is well organised, and that communication is good throughout. examples of this are that in the first year we spend it in the onsite college. Then for the next year and a half we rotate through the different areas. this then allows us to get a understanding of the whole business.

I receive a good amount of support from my employer, they allow me to ask for additional help and support when needed. they are also very accommodating if any issues occur and try they best to help out. we also have reviews with our training managers every 3 months this allows for us to be set targets and raise any issues.

Throughout the apprenticeship, our training providers have supported us in getting our qualifications, in a few different ways. such as giving sessions to complete work. but there have been times where all of the work has been self work, with little guidance on the aims of the work its self.

I fell that the qualifications and skills that i have learnt are beneficial and useful for my job role. For example the first year we worked on key skills and knowledge that is used all the time through out the job. But there have been aspects of the course that are less relevant.

Yes

I feel that if you come in with the right mindset, that the apprenticeship will look after you very well and set you up in a brilliant job with a good range of qualification, skills and knowledge. As well as this i also feel that you will meet a load of fantastic people.
