Overview
I am a quality engineer within body chassis engineering, I have a number of projects involving door quality issues, to fix these I look into customer warranty claims, do physical testing and measuring of cars and help create rapid prototype parts to help contain or fix certain quality issues.
Skills
I have learn how to use kits and softwares such as EZ and Calipri I have planned large rig tests and learnt valuable project management and planning skills
Responsibilities
Yes, I was leading a number of projects that I was left to get on with myself throughout the year, although I do have consistant check up and support whenever needed
Support & Guidance
Lots! I had fortnightly 1-1 catch ups with my manager and bi-weekly meetings with my team to discuss how projects were progressing and next steps. I was never short of support
Culture
Very welcoming, and suprisingly laid back atmoshphere. Everyones very friendly and happy to help. Being able to work from home whenever I needed made the job very flexible and gave a great work-life balance. Inside the office there always something going on, cool things to go and see or prople to meet.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed it alot more than I expected. I was given so much freedom to get on with my projects which made the job less stressfull and more enjoyable. I would say the only negative is sometimes the work would get slightly repetative at times but I was often offered opertunities to try new things and I felt comfertable to ask for different work. I got to see alot of different aspects within the buisness and the chnace to do lots of hands on work.
Yes
Be yourself, you don't have to be car obsessed to get the job!
