What exactly are the company specialising in? If the council are involved then Technical Engineer could be anything from manning the stop/go board on the roads to high tech design on bridge gantries, and anything in between.
What i'm trying to say is make sure you read up on the company you are applying for and have lots of questions to ask them, I mean lots. If they are taking you on as a trainee then they are not really expecting you know the job inside out are they? They won't be asking you how to redesign national infrastructure systems, but you can bet your ass they'll ask the simple things like how you react to new situations, past experiences, etc. They will also want to see you keen and eager to learn.
Go in, be confident, relax and be honest. They'll tell from a mile if you're bull****ing.
But most importantly, good luck and let us know how you get on.
