Tyler Drake

During my time as an apprentice electrician I learned many things. As it was my first job I learned the importance of working with people who were many years my senior and learning about the craft through their personal experiences and the skills they picked up along the way.

On the week beginning the 3rd of July I worked as a trialist electrician for Olympic Electrical Services. During the week I worked on new builds in Gunnislake installing sockets and lights into walls and ceilings of new build houses. I helped install a chandelier and a Tesla charger into a customer's house and picked up different skills and helpful pieces of information along the way.

During this month long period I was employed part time by W Mcmullin and sons removal company. It was here that I learned the importance of a hard days work and not taking the easier jobs for granted. Being that this was my first ever employed position I was very rough around the edges in terms of the work environment but I was able to show I was not afraid of a bit of heavy lifting.
