I carried out jobs from the initial pricing stages up until completion. This position required that I was highly organised, able to arrange a workforce and materials, acquire long lead-time items and negotiate any alterations. I also had to remain in continuous communication with peers, management, customers and suppliers. I was involved in the tendering, contract review, procurement, customer liaison, planning and implementation of a project through to O&M manuals on completion of the project. I was involved in managing projects ranging from LV to 66kV.This position was office based and required a lot of work within Microsoft Office as well as AutoCAD. I continued my higher education while in this position, as not only the experience previously acquired, but also technical knowledge proved extremely valuable.Recent project types have included 33kV wind farms, 11kV biomass processing plants, 11kV and 33kV substations and most recently I was involved in a 66kV project.After this period of work I left for a number of months to go traveling.

This was my primary role throughout my apprenticeship. My training was of a dual role nature and I was expected to learn all aspects of the business. Switchgear fitting involved low voltage through to 33,000V GIS equipment, transformers up to 30MVA, HV and LV bus bar trunking and containment. Testing of equipment was also part of my duties including IR, AC flash, ducter and current injection testing. My cable jointing training and experience covered LV to 33kV jointing. I received training from Raychem/Tyco, 3M and Shrink Polymer Systems on joints and terminations up to 33,000V.To become more proficient within this role, I found it important to further myself in learning the technical, physical and electrical properties of all components and procedures. In this role I was required to communicate with supervisors, and at times management from our customers on site.
