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

Upon arrival we have a morning meeting at 7:30. In which there we discuss the tasks that are going to be undertaken within the working day and also discuss on what tasks were completed yesterday with the team. Then before we start any tasks we must complete our HIRA and stop card so therefore we acknowledge and reduce any risks associated with that task. The tasks we do involve; taking apart panels, wiring panels, making circuits, anything that gets suggested for us to do. Then after that we tidy up, so that the working area is as tidy and clean as we arrived this morning and get changed and go home at 3:30.
