The start of my work day varies daily and it could be anything from managing calls from field staff to emailing management or addressing other requests that come in.

Problem-solving, and supporting the resource team and field staff.

What do you find challenging?
Last-minute changes to plans can be challenging at times but once you have achieved them it feels rewarding.

Every single bit of my job and the company. When you find something you love doing there is no better feeling.
