I had previously unsuccessfully studied maths in UCC and completed an accountancy qualification but had found myself at a bit of a crossroads. From talking to the apprentices that I was helping out, I became very interested in considering an apprenticeship in Electrical &amp; Instrumentation Engineering (E&amp;I). From there, I decided to actively go about trying to break into the industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I began doing a course in Applied Physics and Instrumentation by night in CIT (now MTU), while I was working in the drinks industry. I thought that doing a night course would confirm this interest and give me a good launch pad, plus show potential employers how serious I was about making the move and commencing an apprenticeship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">My lecturer in the course told me about the apprenticeship opportunity with BASF. I was lucky enough to be successful in the selection process and started as an E&amp;I apprentice in the latter half of 2014 within the maintenance department, at the higher than typical age for an apprentice of 28. Since then, I have completed my apprenticeship, gained qualifications from night study and I have now transitioned into my current role as the site E&amp;I and Automation Engineer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong><span class=\"contextmenu emphasis\">Why did you choose to work with BASF?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">BASF is a big global company that offers great opportunities to its employees. The site has a long history in Cork and great track record of producing excellent apprentices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong><span class=\"contextmenu emphasis\">What are you working on at present?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">At present I am working on finalising plans for our upcoming shutdown. There are a number of projects I will be overseeing from an E&amp;I and Automation perspective, so I need to ensure I have these fully scoped out, so they run smoothly and do not cause any delays when the plant is due to start up again.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"card-img\" title=\"BASF Ireland is based in Inchera, Cork.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.irishexaminer.com\/cms_media\/module_img\/8553\/4276696_3_articleinlinemobile_P3_BASF_filler_if_needed_281_29.jpg\" alt=\"BASF Ireland is based in Inchera, Cork.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">BASF Ireland is based in Inchera, Cork.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"\"><span class=\"contextmenu emphasis\">I also fulfil the role as the SIS (Safety Instrumented System) Engineer for the site. This involves a lot a documentation preparation, in preparation for completing compulsory requirement to proof test the system during our shutdown. As well as this I have a number of day to day responsibilities, and regularly get involved in troubleshooting issues or modifying code to improve operations so I have to be particularly organised around this time when we are coming close to shutdown, to ensure all my planning activities are completed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong><span class=\"contextmenu emphasis\">What is the best part of your job?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Finishing a project successfully or troubleshooting particularly difficult problems. There are always challenges arising that need to be overcome so there is a constant sense of achievement. All problems and projects will require inputs from others, so this creates a great sense of collaborative achievement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong><span class=\"contextmenu emphasis\">What is a defining career moment or high point? \/ Is there a career moment you are proud of?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I was very proud of completing my apprenticeship, it is very challenging in a lot of aspects, but is a great qualification to obtain and I had a great time mostly in doing so. I was very proud of completing my night degree, because it is a massive draining commitment one needs to give. Anybody who has completed qualifications by night while working during the day can attest to that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I am also very proud of all the projects we have brought to a successful completion over the last 4-5 years investment. We are a very small team, and had the huge issue of Covid in between but we got there in the end.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong><span class=\"contextmenu emphasis\">What is the best piece of professional advice you have received?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The best way to eat an elephant is one piece at a time, or, lefty-loosey righty-tighty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong><span class=\"contextmenu emphasis\">If you could go back in time and give yourself a piece of advice at the start of your career, what would that be?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Nothing really, I was very committed to it, I just wish I began my apprenticeship sooner. I really think the focus from secondary schools to push students to go straight from 2nd level into 3rd level needs to change. An apprenticeship in my opinion is a far more useful and satisfying qualification than a lot of 3rd level qualifications. An apprenticeship opens up so many doors and is a great base to build on if you do want to obtain further 3rd level qualifications later on. I would encourage students to give apprenticeships serious consideration and I would encourage schools to highlight apprenticeships a lot more, and not solely focus on the CAO application.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong><span class=\"contextmenu emphasis\">What advice would you give to someone who is thinking about interviewing for this position?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Show an enhanced interest in the position somehow \u2014 if you are looking to start an apprenticeship, take some online Udemy courses, read a few books or watch a few videos and do some of your own projects as a hobby \u2014 highlight these on your CV. Things like a Raspberry PI give a really good understanding of a lot of aspects of what an E&amp;I apprenticeship and further is all about.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong><span class=\"contextmenu emphasis\">What would you say are the key skills and capabilities necessary to be good at what you do?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Attention to detail, teamwork, conscientiousness and a willingness and appetite to always learn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong><span class=\"contextmenu emphasis\">What is the best career lesson you have learned so far?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Sometimes it is best to take a step back and regroup. As with all other jobs there can be challenging and stressful times. I have found that it is usually best to walk away for a half hour, clear your mind before returning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Also, it is always a good idea to get other people&#8217;s opinions and help on things \u2014 never be afraid to reach out even if you think the question may be silly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong><span class=\"contextmenu emphasis\">Which industry professionals should people be following on Twitter\/ Linkedln?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I don&#8217;t really use Twitter\/ Linkedln, but I have always since my apprenticeship enjoyed following guys on YouTube. I have learned a lot down through the years from channels like Thomas Nagy, Artisan Electrics, Nick Bundy, who are self employed UK electricians just blogging their daily work. I also enjoy following ElectroBoom for the more science based stuff. There are some great channels on YouTube that are entertaining and educational.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong><span class=\"contextmenu emphasis\">Is there a particular book or resource you would recommend to someone early in their career?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">When I started my apprenticeship, I bought some Newnes pocket books which were good. But the best resources are YouTube and Udemy. You can learn so much from these.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How did you get started in your role as the site E&amp;I and Automation Engineer?
