Maintenance engineer
Harrier LLC
Newton Abbot, Devon
2015.08 - 2025.01
- I started an apprenticeship in level 2 electronic engineering at Harrier; this job first introduced me to the industry and to using my engineering skills for practical use.
- Learning from others at first, then quickly working individually to repair and solve problems.
- The Level 2 was completed in 2016. I continued to the Level 3 apprenticeship in electrical and electronic engineering, which lasted two years, giving me more knowledge and skills in working on machinery. I learned to work independently to complete challenging maintenance tasks, but still collaborated in teams where required.
- In 2018, the Level 3 finished, and I progressed to an HNC-level apprenticeship, still at Harrier. During these two years, I have vastly broadened my knowledge of the industry and its values. I was also sent to Harrier's second factory in the Czech Republic for installation, and to cover the factory when its normal engineers were away.
