I have learnt all the CI tools and Lean management techniques to optimise any operation of a manufacturing business. I have had great growth in this role in terms of team building, public speaking, problem solving and networking with people.

Yes, indeed! I have started from zero knowledge on Operations Excellence and Continuous Improvement. I have started with getting trained on CI tools, assisting or shadowing my manager in different projects, getting used to the company culture etc. Later on as I could understand the business and the signification of operations excellence in a business , I took on few cost-out projects. Through trials and errors, I have successfully finished my internship. The growth within the role was slow but steady.

I got support from not only my team, but also the whole leadership team in Sutton. The leaders are approachable and they constantly try to encourage by putting you through challenging situations. That made me overcome a lot of fear, made me used to the tough situations and in the end instilled confidence in me.

Eaton is a multinational conglomerate functioning in various sector. My experience in Electrical sector of the company has been really enlightening. The company culture is really transparent and inclusive. Being the only Asian in my office, I have never come across a situation where I am ruled out. The whole team has been always supportive and caring towards me.

To the core
