Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Superb role, however it will vary placement to placement from what I have heard. My current role I could not ask for more, I have ticked off every KSB for my apprenticeship, with brilliant support and training. This role will involve scheduling, cost controlling, estimating, and other project control related activities.
