- Ensure training plans are in place, and standard operating procedures are correct and up to date
- Ensure quality standards are maintained and improved
- Work with apprentices to ensure they are meeting their study and practical requirements, signing off practical work as required
- Be prepared and able to accurately report on the teams’ progress at daily meetings, identifying any potential issues ahead of time.
- Actively participate in developing and maintaining a positive culture
