Tell us about your journey with Arvia?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI started as an Apprentice Process Technician in 2013; with continued growth and development of myself and the company, I am now in the position of Lead Service Engineer. My function is generally to manage the build, deployment and on-site operation of Arvia\u2019s processing equipment; whilst also managing and building a team of service engineers to support this function.\u201d<\/p>\n

What are you doing at the moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI am currently working towards completing a higher apprenticeship in manufacturing engineering, which has given me an insight into general management as well as project management and project delivery.<\/p>\n

My role is extremely varied in that no two days are the same; I am currently working on building and testing the next generation of Arvia processing equipment which is due to be delivered to customers in China. A secondary responsibility or ongoing target for myself is to build and develop a service department that is capable of serving the growing demands of the company and its customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Would you recommend this route to young people thinking of apprenticeships?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHaving developed through a level 3 apprenticeship, I am currently working towards the completion of a level 4 (higher apprenticeship). My personal experience of apprenticeships has been positive and has allowed me to develop a good balance of usable skills, leading me to a position whereby I am managing a growing service department within Arvia Technology.<\/p>\n

As well as my own positive experiences with apprenticeships, I have also worked alongside a number of fantastic young people and apprentices who are clearly benefiting from the balance of learning that can be gained from developing through a work based apprenticeship.\u201d<\/p>\n
