Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I come in and help with almost every thing that needs done for example today in the yard I guided the forklift when it was delivering and offloading steel into the correct places. Other days I go out on site and do things such as soil testing and ecology checks so that we can understand the area when building towers and acces tracks

It is a good group in the office and it is enjoyable as well as being tough, i do 4 weeks at a time at college which I dont enjoy as much as it is more slower paced and boring
