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

Heavy goods vehicle technician/mechanic and day to day involves 6 weekly services and regular repairs including clutches and brakes. it can also involve many other repairs in electrical systems and diagnosing faults in the vehicle. I also use the diagnosing computer on a daily basis to find the faults.
