  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • My role as a technical apprentice can vary dependant on which area I currently work. Right now I am a member of the quality team, so my day to day role is to check components either by hand or using equipment such as CMM. I ensure these parts are drawing and free of any damage.
