Overview
Depending on which projects I am currently working on this can vary. When I was in the cockpit team, I completed projects on the L460 range rover upper glovebox, so my day to day was to complete tests and set up meetings with relevant teams to help solve the issue. I also would have daily stand up meetings on what tasks the cockpit team needed doing for the week
Skills
Yes, I have learnt good data analysis skills, by reviewing cockpit warranty monthly spend data every week. Soft skills not taught at university such as applying engineering solutions to problems where the solution might not be so obvious, as well as communication and teamworking skills.
Responsibilities
Yes, the responsibility naturally increases as you get more comfortable in your role. I started off shdowing meetings to understand what tasks needed doing and the training required to be able to complete tasks. I eventually got all my accesses and training out of the way to work on making real part changes to current range rover and jaguar vehicles.
Support & Guidance
The support was good, If I had any issues, I would know who to contact. Learning how to complete tasks was always taught to me by co workers
Culture
Company culture was positive, inclusive, and social. Was motivated to go into work most days due to there always being something new in the office to check out.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed it very much, got a chance to create new friends, gain experience in industry and get the support I needed for my career development.
Yes
Try and get involved as much as you can with the activities that are sent to you, and make an impact in your team.
