The Role
The year has been fantastic and I have enjoyed it very much.
By the colleagues in my department, I was made more than welcome. However, most colleagues in other departments were entirely different, sometimes rude and unprofessional. Very quick to judge.
My manager has always given me great guidance. This has allowed me to be innovative with my ideas and to have the confidence to start new projects.
Sometimes I was very busy with projects, but other times there was nothing in particular I could be doing.
I was the sole IT Support for two of the Service Training facilities. I controlled all aspects of computing to do with these facilities and I was responsible for the maintenance and repair of these.
I am qualified on several different engines and I am also qualified in engine electrics.
