Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Field service engineer apprentice, assisting and learning from engineers while they work on medical imaging equipment (X-Ray, CT, MRI, etc). Each day I drive to a different hospital to work on a wide range of advanced equipment. I attend college 1 day a week to work towards my level 4 qualification.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
