Key Responsibilities
1. Hands-On Workshop Coaching
* Teach apprentices how to use hand tools, power tools, torque tools, and precision measurement gear correctly.
* Show them how to dismantle, inspect, and reassemble components safely and cleanly.
* Demonstrate how engines, fuel systems, air systems, and aftertreatment systems work—using real examples in the shop.
* Walk apprentices through "what goes wrong" and how to identify faults, damage, wear, and failure modes.
* Build foundational troubleshooting skills using real units, real jobs, and real failures.
2. Apprentice Readiness & Confidence Building
* Help first-years get comfortable in the workshop—how to move safely, set up their workspace, and think like a technician.
* Teach shop etiquette: teamwork, communication, keeping a tidy bay, and respecting the craft.
* Support apprentices who may lack confidence or exposure by giving them structured, achievable tasks.
3. Capability Tracking & Individualised Support
* Use the standardised capability tracker to guide development, set expectations, and maintain consistency across regions.
* Adapt coaching approaches to each apprentice—ensuring flexibility to address gaps, strengths, and real-time needs.
* Provide apprentices with targeted support in areas flagged through the tracker or identified in the workshop.
4. Branch Support & Integration
* Work closely with Service Managers, Supervisors, and Technicians to ensure apprentices are developing the right skills.
* Identify capability gaps at each branch and provide targeted hands‐on coaching sessions.
* Support the embedding of standard work practices and safe working methods in day‐to‐day workshop tasks.
* Travel to nearby or regional sites when required —usually infrequent and planned ( to guide development, set expectations, and maintain consistency across regions.
