1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

8:00am Start and site briefing, I then go onto site to see what has been done and what also needs to be done and what paperwork is needed. I then go back to the office to sort out paperwork and mark ups. After lunch I go back to site to see what has been completed that day and what needs to be done for tomorrow. I then go back to the office and update trackers and diaries so we know if we are on track ready for home time at 5:00pm
