Trainee Technician - Year 10 Work Experience
I was given the opportunity to conduct my year 10 work experience with EcoHeat from 07 - 11 July 2025. It was a very valuable experience as I gained some insight into the daily operations of a Gas, Heating and Plumbing Technician. I shadowed the owner of the company and a senior technician on several customer site visits to assist with inspection, maintenance and repairing of diverse types of equipment , under close supervision, such as maintenance checks on boilers, helping with the installation of new pipes, unblocking of pipes etc. The whole experience was enriching as it allowed me to:
*Observe and learn safety protocols and enhanced workplace safety.
*It enabled me to improve my equipment functionality by performing routine maintenance checks and maintaining a clean work environment and allowed me to gain practical skills whilst assisting senior technicians with various tasks.
*Allowed me to witness and learn about communicating effectively with clients to understand their requirements and keep them informed at all times
*Taught me to follow detailed instructions to complete assigned tasks accurately and to ask if I am unsure of anything.
* Allowed me to exercise punctuality and be aware of time management
