He explains more about his passion and interests that have led to him choosing to enjoy a career in the electrical industry.
So How Did Dale’s Fascination With Electrical Engineering Begin?
However, before becoming an electrical engineer his career seemed to be on a different path. His first job after leaving school was a bricklayer before then changing career paths. In 2012 he made the move to train as an electrical engineer through an apprenticeship scheme.
In the beginning, he worked alongside other electrical engineers and was tasked simply with passing materials and tools to them. The aim of this was to help him to get a better understanding of what each tool was designed to do, and why certain materials were required for certain jobs.
After being taught the basics he then started to learn about more advanced electrical tasks including how to wire parts of lighting and power socket circuits. From this, he then moved on to learning how to carry out fault finding, which in turn led to him being able to carry out the necessary inspection and testing of electrical systems in properties to provide customers with an Electrical Inspection Condition Report (EICR).
He spent three years and 10 months as an electrical engineer apprentice before then taking up a position with Purdy Contracts Limited in June 2016. He continued to work for them until he chose to then become self-employed in 2018.
However, things have since moved on from there, as he chose in 2021 to set up his own electrical engineering business, and A10 Electrical Solutions Limited was born.
What makes this such an achievement is that he chose to set up his own business right when Covid was in its ascension. He felt the could offer more to those who needed his assistance through his own company rather than continuing to work for others.
