Engineering Tomorrow: Electro-Mechanical Apprentice Alex

As Neutronic continues to grow as a business, we have implemented a strong focus on training and educating aspiring Engineers to become qualified in their desired field. Supported by local colleges, we have developed an extensive apprenticeship programme.

As we celebrate National Apprenticeship week, we wanted to check in with our Apprentices and let them tell their story so far, of their journey at Neutronic Technologies.

Alex joined the Neutronic Technologies team in September 2023, since then Alex has developed an outstanding understanding of the industry, and how Neutronic operates as a business. We recently sat down with Alex to ask him about his highlights during his Apprenticeship.

“I enjoy learning new skills each day during my Apprenticeship, and the freedom to be an engineer and problem solve a repair.”

“They will not find a better job at young age to start their career path.”

“Over the next 5 years, I aim to become trained on all equipment and departments within the Electro-Mechanical workshop and become a multi-skilled Engineer. I would like to become first aid trained to support my team members, and in the future gain my forklift truck license.”

“Being trusted to use the balancing machine after training from department members, another highlight is passing my first-month assessment. Everyday is a highlight because I enjoy coming to work.”

“I applied for Neutronic Technologies after attending an open day, which showed me what types of repairs they complete and the facilities. This made me want to work here as it showed opportunities for me to grow my career.”

It has been great to see how our Apprentices are shaping their future careers at Neutronic Technologies. As they go on to complete more projects and develop new skills, we look forward to tracking their journeys.

Engineering Tomorrow: Electro-Mechanical Apprentice Ronnie

Our 3 Electro-Mechanical Apprentices have each been supported and mentored by our experienced Engineers. Training them to use tools and machinery within the workshop. As we celebrate National Apprenticeship week, we wanted to check in with our Apprentices and let them tell their story so far, of their journey at Neutronic Technologies.

Ronnie joined the Neutronic team in September 2023. Since starting at Neutronic, Ronnie has been able to apply his transferable skills from his Motor Vehicle qualification, and implement his knowledge to the industrial repair industry. We recently sat down with Ronnie to ask him about his highlights during his Apprenticeship.

“Last week, I worked on fixing a David Brown gearbox with Ernie. We Disassembled the gearbox, taking off the bearings and pinion, and fitting the bearings back onto the shaft.” An exciting opportunity for Ronnie to learn the parts and identify faults, whilst being supported by Ernie, a senior Engineer. This repair is in progress, however Ronnie is looking forward to seeing the final repair completed.

“After researching the company, I felt it was a modern engineering company who wanted to support young aspiring engineering. I had transferable skills from Motor Vehicle qualifications, which I put into practice at Neutronic.”

“Gain confidence in my abilities and skills in the Electro-Mechanical workshop. Gain experience in going onto sites for Engineering visits, and supporting our customers onsite.”

“Go for it! Make sure you listen to every thing which is being told you, make notes and ask questions! Make sure people are bored of you asking questions, as this is how you learn and understand procedures.” Our team are always happen to answer questions, there is no such thing as a bad question in our workshops at Neutronic!

“Once you have gained an understanding try and give things a go, whilst being safe. And don’t always rely on people.”

It has been great to see how our Apprentices are shaping their future careers at Neutronic Technologies. As they go on to complete more projects and develop new skills, we look forward to tracking their journeys.
