The position was advertised on the company notice board, shorthly after applying for the job I attended a first round interview and then a second round interview.
A week later I was offered the job.
Describe a typical day?
A typical day would start with travelling to a quarry & meeting with the quarry manager.
You could spend half the day outside around the quarry carrying out an inspection/audit, the second half of the day could be spent on paper work which might include analysising environmental monitoring results and checking for compliance to planning conditions imposed on the site.
What are the main challenges?
The main challenges can be organising your day, you might not get back to that quarry for number of weeks so it is important to address all issues on that one day.

In my job I work with managers and supervisors who are working in production which can be hectic, and as I have worked as a supervisor in a production factory, I understand their responsibilities and what is practical for them.
