Apprentice welding at FitzWilliams Eng.

I am somebody who likes to be challenged and at G&J I get that most days that I am in work. At G&j every day is different for me being an apprentice.

A day to day within this job would be making sure the rolls coming off the end of the line were clean with no defects.

These 3 are two production workers and one fork lift driver. At the start of every shift I conduct ANNA board meeting with my staff to discuss the shift from yesterday, seeing if targets were hit, any useful information such as holidays needs to be placed on the board and then followed by any concern they or myself might have which need to be adressed.

I carry out disaplinaries when needed such as record of discussion and written warnings but any higher disapline requires HR to take over. Finally I have finished my NVQ Level 2 Team Leader qualification and I am currently doing Level 4 Supervisors, which I have been doing since September 2017. Show less
