Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
on an average day i would make my way into the depot, i would then speak to everyone in the morning and check what jobs are on and if i can come along. I’d chose who i wanted to work with on that day and join on their job, we’d make our way there and look at the underground job and complete it. everyday is different we joint together live electrical cables to our houses back on supply. Each day varies as there are 3 different types of LV cables and they all are different sizes, There is also various different HV cables. When the job is complete we return back to the depot and then are done for the day
