As it’s National Apprenticeship Week, it’s a good time to announce that we have an apprentice technician, Myles Walker, cutting his teeth in our Cambridge office.
He began his apprenticeship at the end of last year, which runs in conjunction with a three-year BTEC Level 3 National Diploma in Civil Engineering, which he undertakes at Cambridge Regional College on a day-release basis – each Tuesday during term time. Shoaib is his lead mentor, although several members of the team are also supporting Myles’ development.
Myles’ hobbies include music (he is in a band), model making and visiting historic sites, as a member of English Heritage. He has also been a Royal Air Force Cadet – completing two years up to his departure in 2023.
Whilst Myles has undertaken a couple of other ‘Saturday jobs’ as well as work experience in the past, this will be the first step on his career path.
He comments ‘So far at Peter Dann I have found the experience to be very engaging, as I am able to improve my skills and knowledge of the industry while working on real projects. My colleagues are great sources of information and explain processes in a way that is easy for me to understand and apply to my work.’
We are enjoying having Myles as part of the team and the fresh perspective he brings. We look forward to his continued development and success with Peter Dann.
