Leo McNeilly

After recently leaving school in June 2026, I have taken a great interest in obtaining an apprenticeship. I hold vast interests in practical subjects and want to be in a hands-on work environment, more specifically, engineering and electrical fields of work. I am willing to listen, learn and work hard showing determination, enthusiasm and ambition.

I have experience in working with machinery such as 3D printers, laser cutters as well as more manual machinery like bandsaws, pillar drills etc. In January of 2026, I secured a place at AMRC to do a level 3 Mechatronics engineering course. Despite this triumph, I did not obtain the apprenticeship with an employer required to continue at AMRC and due to this I am now enrolled at Sheffield College doing Level 2 Electrical Installation.

As well as this, I hold interest in gaining a part time job whilst searching for full time work so i can demonstrate my work ethic and desire to achieve.
