Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I review and consolidate both capex and opex spend/costs. This way ensuring we are meeting targets, budgets and forecasts throughout the year on a monthly basis.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was definitely given a lot of responsibility, however, you can be in control of how much you receive.
