As an apprentice, my role involves learning and supporting engineers in maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing medical and diagnostic equipment. On a day-to-day basis, I assist with fault finding, servicing systems, and ensuring equipment is operating efficiently for customers. I also complete training modules and coursework alongside gaining hands-on experience in real working environments. The role is a mix of practical work, problem-solving, and continuous learning, allowing me to build both technical and communication skills.
