I\u2019m Dan, a Junior Technical Hardware Engineer (aka Auto Electrician) at Microlise. Ever since I left education, I\u2019ve been all about Electrical Engineering, and that passion has led me to where I am today. I joined Microlise just under a year ago, and it\u2019s been an amazing ride so far!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Outside of work, I\u2019m really into hockey and love a good DIY project. Life\u2019s pretty busy (in the best way) with my two daughters, especially now my youngest has just arrived!<\/p>\n<p>Before Microlise, I tried my hand at a bit of everything. I kicked things off with an electrical apprenticeship, then had a few different roles, including maintenance engineering and test work at Bombardier and Kannegeisser. When it came time for my next move, Microlise really stood out, and I was excited to see what the future would hold. Safe to say, I\u2019ve not been disappointed!<\/p>\n<h3>My Journey with Microlise<\/h3>\n<p>Microlise really caught my eye when I was looking for a new role. During the interview process, one thing that really appealed to me was the level of autonomy. I love traveling and exploring new places, so having a role that lets me move around instead of being stuck in one location was a perfect fit \u2013 I\u2019m currently working in Australia for a few months!<\/p>\n<p>While researching the company, I stumbled across a blog post from another employee sharing their experience at Microlise; It was really inspiring and made me even more excited to join the team. It looked like an incredible place to work, and I knew I wanted to be part of that journey.<\/p>\n<h3>Training &amp; Onboarding<\/h3>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241210_140744-225x300.jpg 225w,https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241210_140744-768x1024.webp 768w,https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241210_140744-1152x1536.webp 1152w,https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241210_140744-1536x2048.webp 1536w,https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241210_140744-1568x2091.webp 1568w, https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241210_140744-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241210_140744-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241210_140744-225x300.jpg\" height=\"225\" width=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241210_140744-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241210_140744-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241210_140744-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241210_140744-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241210_140744-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241210_140744-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241210_140744-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2193 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture>My journey started at the Head Office in Nottingham, where we spent time working on installs at our desks, which was a great way to get familiar with the kit before heading out into the field. The office experience was really insightful, and gave me a chance to learn more about the company, meet all the team leaders and my colleagues. Everyone was super welcoming and made it clear that no question was a silly question &#8211; which made learning the ropes so much easier.<\/p>\n<p>I was out in the field pretty quickly, getting stuck into my first project. The onboarding process was smooth too. Starting a new job can be overwhelming; learning new systems, getting to grips with tasks. But I never felt lost because there was always someone ready to help. I spent time with Adam, who answered all my questions, and also had inductions with the HR team and even the CEO, Nadeem Raza! Meeting key people so early on really reinforced the friendly, supportive culture at Microlise. It felt like joining a family rather than just starting a new job.<\/p>\n<h3>My First Projects<\/h3>\n<p>One of my first major projects as a Junior Technical Hardware Engineer was the PSS installs with Sports Direct. Our team was the first to fit equipment into 80 trucks, which at the time that number felt huge! The goal was to complete the job as quickly and efficiently as possible as part of a big team effort.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the large-scale projects, I\u2019ve also been trusted with more solo tasks that reflect my experience in engineering. That was a big confidence boost for me as it showed my team leaders believed in my abilities. I\u2019ve always said, \u201cI don\u2019t just want a job, I want a career,\u201d and I feel like that mindset has really been recognised here.<\/p>\n<p>Since joining Microlise, I\u2019ve travelled all over the UK, from Devon to Glasgow. One of the biggest projects I\u2019ve worked on was Tesco installs, where we serviced around 200 trailers between the junior team for Tesco &#8211; an incredible achievement!<\/p>\n<h3><strong><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241125_110742-225x300.jpg 225w,https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241125_110742-113x150.webp 113w,https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241125_110742.webp 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241125_110742-225x300.jpg\" height=\"300\" width=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241125_110742-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241125_110742-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/20241125_110742.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2191 alignright sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Kangaroo feeding in a lush forest setting with a man in casual outdoor attire, showing engagement with wildlife.\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture> <\/strong>Highlights so far<\/h3>\n<p>Hands down, the biggest highlight of my time at Microlise so far has been traveling to Australia for work \u2014 twice! During the day, I worked hard, and in the evenings, I made the most of my time exploring Australia. It\u2019s been an unforgettable experience\u00a0 travelling all over, from Cairns to Melbourne.<\/p>\n<p>Majority of the work has been for Woolworths and their delivery vans. There\u2019s plenty of repetitive work, which is great for getting the skills down and becoming second nature, but there are also loads of new projects to keep things fresh.<\/p>\n<p>Every day, I teamed up with other engineers to handle service calls more efficiently. We had a solid work ethic, always helping each other out, and the whole team was incredibly supportive and proactive. The experience has been fantastic &#8211; not just for the work itself, but also for the people I\u2019ve met along the way.<\/p>\n<h3>Thinking About Joining Microlise?<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re considering it, I\u2019d 100% recommend it. Microlise is a fantastic company to work for, and if you\u2019re willing to put the effort in, you\u2019ll see the rewards fast. I started as a junior in the role, worked hard, and ended up getting the opportunity to travel to Australia. That kind of experience so early on is amazing!<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, everyone wants to enjoy what they do, and I can honestly say I love working for Microlise. If you join, my advice is simple: trust the process, take pride in your work, and enjoy the ride!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey there!
