    Overview

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

    • At the start of the role, I started reviewing electrical schematics other engineers in my team had designed against a series of technical and aesthetic rules and constraints. For example, ratings of specific circuit breakers and relays. Furthermore, I assisted in the design of various schematics due to engineering change orders using the previous knowledge gained through reviews
