    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • Day-to-day involves supporting project work. I check in with my manager and we visit the project plan and i am set tasks to complete to enable the project to reach the next milestone. If there are any issues on the manufacturing site which have a technical impact, I consult the issue together with the technical team and RCA investigations are carried out. For technical process changes, I carry out technical risk asessment workshops
