What do you like about your job and the company?

My role is very flexible, I'm able to choose what I want to do within certain limits but also I'm able to work from home to look after my dog two days a week! Something else is the experience and knowledge that I'm able to gain from this apprenticeship.

Greatest achievements

I've recently been shortlisted and then announced as a finalist for Young Rail Professionals Apprentice of the Year. This is something that shocked me at first but then after it was explained the reasons for my nomination made me extremely proud and humbled. I feel lucky enough to be given such an opportunity like a degree apprenticeship let alone having the chance to win an award that sets me apart from the rest.

In my daily activities I encourage my colleagues to build a network in our team. Learning something about people that are in your professional network can help in creating strongest relations and a friendly job environment. You can start with active listening, make sure to spend time and have a chat with your colleagues regarding their issues, their hobbies, their life and about what they love to do. In this way you have chance to work in a team, where the communication is easy and you could be able to better understand people behaviour.

It is amazing how the technology is evolving every year, even month. New technologies are always arising and making our lifes easier. What's really important is the need to be aware of this technologies and to be always thinking if these technologies can be applied to the business. This is really important, a new technology correctly applied to a train, fleet, etc. can be the game changer to win a contract. Most of the customers are not yet aware of the power of cloud computing, IoT, AI's etc. It's our job to take advantage of it and propose solutions they've never dreamt of.
