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

I am responsible for 10 subcontractors and I also help my colleges with tasks such as completing take off's. Each month when we receive an application or invoice I must work out if they are due that amount and if not then why.

The programme structure is good and makes our lives as students very easy as rather than having multiple modules at the same time its just two or three and these get completed before we move on.
