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

My job involves carrying out maintenance within a workshop environment on HGV vehicles. This includes inspecting, repairing and cleaning vehicles to customer standards and making sure they are in the correct condition to be out on the road. I am learning every day and always improving my skills.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Before starting this apprenticeship I had very little prior knowledge on vehicle maintenance and tools. Since starting this job I have learnt how to inspect HGV vehicles to mot standards and repair many kinds of defects that may be found.
