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

Assure leather and fabric covered parts meet stringent quality standards. This is through preventative and reactive quality processes such as systematic checks or putting a containment in place for an issue. Have to liaise with various teams such as engineering and planning departments and use critical thinking alongside core engineering practices.

3/10

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

Very little crossover as university lecturers are out of touch with the real world and have only ever lectured, and they were probably taught by lecturers who only ever lectured. A systemic lack of real world application

Plenty of sporting groups that meet after work and charity events to get involved with.
