Overview
Started off in plant logistics (MP&L), this was a waste of time so I moved to a new team responsible for logistics projects. I spent my time managing the installation and commissioning of an AGV fleet for the new electrification production lines.
Skills
Project management Problem Solving Interpersonal Skills Business & Industry knowledge and insights
Responsibilities
I was jointly responsible for the multi-million pound project and was solely responsible for a ~拢500,000 smaller project.
Support & Guidance
Not much, most of my progress and learning was developed off my own back. Support was minimal and very slow.
Culture
Yeah fine
Your Impressions
The second half was mostly enjoyable although I still lacked any support to help guide my placement
Yes
Industrial operations is significantly less technical than expected and the Halewood and EPMC/BAC sites are very isolated from the core Coventry based company so these sites are not ideal if you plan to be involved in any company wide events, especially for early careers
