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

I am a civil engineering apprentice in my first year with BAM NUTTALL and it has so far been a really good experience and learning curve for myself. My tasks on site require me to complete my diary, shadow the section engineer and also on every second of the month i have to make sure that all of the close call cards have been put onto the system.
