Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Working on customer projects in the office, including upgrading systems with new Siemens equipment. Additionally, gaining experience as a field service apprentice by attending site visits to assist with troubleshooting customer faults and commissioning new panels. Such a great way for an apprenitce like me to learn and get my hand-on skills active with the tasks I have been given.
