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

Doing the weekly routines in the station. working at sse everyday is never the same. one day i will be working on an outage and the next i could be out in the van travelling and seeing new places and sites.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The programme is well structured and I feel as though once out of college there are few problems. There has been some major issues with college assessors however this is not through the fault of SSE.
