Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
As an Overhead Lines Engineering Technician there is a lot to learn and there is never a boring day at work due to the amount I get to learn and how determined I am in making the most of my apprenticeship. I was working in York for the first 6 months of my apprenticeship building equipment up to be sent out onto site. I am now based in Doncaster working in an office working on case studies and future projects and I'm loving every second of it.
