Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Responsible for leading maintenance access strategy - so will host workshops to understand each disciplines requirements - I then turn that information to be displayed into statements which I then use to design in CAD. I will then share that model with stakeholders to gain markups and then present to the client and address feedback

How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
As much as I want
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

As much as I need rather than a base level and if I request help they are always there other than that I stay independent
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

Because they direct me on skills that are long-term rather than practical like developing soft skills
