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

On a non college day, after your first year you are based in a maintenance role with a maintenance team, you will be called to breakdowns on robots etc to go and fox the problem to get production running again. As well as this, you do PM's which is servicing equipment etc
