Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Engineering fitter, constructed subassemblies and fitted them to assemblies, helped on building production lines and on refit/update of old machines.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
Decent, but there were too many issues in coordination and communication between work and college which led to course switching redoing work.

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have learnt a lot of hand tool and power tool operation techniques, different fitting methods, use of machines such as millers along with CAD skills.
