Overview
Working within the Plant Engineering Team, supporting the analysis team on both reactive tasks to support manufacturing and also ongoing engineering projects. I have written technical reports, become adept with industry software such as Abaqus and Hyperworks and got involved with extra curricular activities like careers fairs and STEM events.
Skills
Communication Interpersonal Teamwork Commercial/company awareness Problem-solving Self-management Organisational/planning Technical skills Industry software
Responsibilities
Yes, I have run my own project that will end in a technical report. Through this I have trained new graduates and apprentices and learnt a lot of soft skills e.g. planning meetings to give updates to my supervisor and communication with my team.
Support & Guidance
Although there wasn't a structure to the work I was put on, I have been given/ experienced everything on my placement year that I would in a real role. My managers have been very supportive of my progress and my wellbeing here. Sometimes however the tasks weren't always made clear from the beginning and last minute changes were made. This could've been avoided with more clear communication at the start.
Culture
Really good vibes day to day, everyone very willing to help and make you feel welcome
Your Impressions
I have loved my placement here, don't want to go back to university!
Yes
Get involved in as many opportunities as you can! Sound cliche but it will go so fast and you will wish you could do it all over again
