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

As a fitter / inspector I work on either fitting or inspecting the aircraft engines. Through a normal day I would either be observing someone or carrying out practing assessments. Every Tuesday I attend college to carry out my BTEC.
