Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
As an apprentice I sign into my training manager's office. If there are any issues we can have a quick discussion about them prior to starting work. Then I report to the training or placement manager or shift supervisor who then gives me my daily tasks. Sometimes its a pump refurbishment or lineside repair. Tuesday is our college day we get to do all the academic work and some practical exercises.
