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

my job roll when I finish the apprenticeship will be mechanical technician. on a day to day basis on site I maintain the mechanical equipment on site including large rotating machinery used to compress gas to push it around the network. this work is often varied and challenging as the work changes due to different faults developing on the equipment that offers a new challenge.
