Overview
On a day to day basis, we support the shop floor with engineering query's, liaising with other departments of the business and the hardware owners around the world yo achieve the best outcome for the business. This usually involves striving to achieve a repair, therefore creating compliant repair documents for the shop to follow.
Skills
I have learnt/developed the following skills: -communication (both written and spoken) -how to plan and priorities work -time management -problem solving -presentation skills
Responsibilities
I was given the same basic standard work as the rest of my team, therefore the same responsibility as salaried employees. This meant taking ownership of individual cases i presented to hardware owners. I also had the responsibility of running low cost projects and a business improvement project.
Support & Guidance
The placement provide multiple points of contact for support and guidance, such as: -Personal mentor (having touch-point meetings every few weeks0 -Manager -Placement committee -Placement student run committee We also followed a development curriculum that supported us through the business and gave us the guidance to get the best out of the placement.
Culture
The culture and general atmosphere is very welcoming from the business as a whole. Every department i have worked with have been helpful and supported my needs.
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement as it gave new an insight into what i wanted to do in the future, it also opened my eyes to other opportunity's in the business. It helped that i found a great group of friends not only with placement students but in the business, as the company is very welcoming and everyone was so friendly.
Yes
Through the interview process try be as hones as possible and work through your answers. Do research about the company, such as such engine lines do they repair on site and what, if any, does the company have planed for the future. This company provides a well rounded insight into the engineering business so even if your answer to questions isn't engineering related, it better to give and thoughtout answer than make something up.
