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

    • During my apprenticeship I have had exposure to different products through rotations or secondments, whilst supporting my manager or supervisor to improve production. Having the responsibility of the basic maintenance and inspections on site, learning to operate mobile plant and undertake site-based duties.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • Every day I am still learning, as the site has so many different areas. My confidence has increased a lot since starting this apprenticeship. Additionally, this work has greatly enhanced skills such as formal email writing and using Word and Excel programmes.
