“I usually start at 07.30 in the morning but sometimes, like when one of the lads is on holiday, I'll come in at 06.00 to help with cover.

Finishing time comes round quickly, usually 16.30. But again, if there is something that we need to finish then I stay to help, it’s what I'm trained to do. I only live 10 minutes away so it’s easy for me. I understand the need for flexible working and that the plant must be ready. We are careful and look after each other and keep things tidy.

I'm only 20 now, but have taken on responsibilities that are important like the lifting gear register and the cutting gear inspections which I am trained to do. I'm a qualified welder already and use these skills almost daily. I'm also one of the few trained to run our weighbridges.

There's plenty of work variety on any day and I enjoy being involved because I learn more about the site operations. This will help with my own development in the future, because I hope I know what may lie ahead.”
