Overview
I worked in a team of 3 interns on a project to upgrade one of the systems onsite by following engineering standards. We had daily meetings in our to discuss progress and decide on tasks to do for the day. We met with our line manager at least once a week and met with our team graduate about every other day.
Skills
I developed my excel skills as well as teamworking/communication. I learned Aspen HYSYS and some other company specific systems.
Responsibilities
Yes - the project we were given was a needed project for the site and we were left to mostly work on it ourselves.
Support & Guidance
I received lots of support. I was always able to reach colleagues who took time to help. Weekly meeting with my manager were very helpful and friendly. They always took time to check both work progress and personal wellbeing. I also had a graduate "buddy" who was always on hand for a chat and I had calls with regularly.
Culture
Company culture was great with huge emphasis on safety and general colleague wellbeing. Everyone was very welcoming and willing to help. There was never any expectation to work outside of hours and everyone was understanding regarding personal matters.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed my placement a lot mostly thanks to the team I was placed in and the project having a very tangible output.
Yes
Make sure your reasons for applying to Centrica are specific to the company and not just any energy company. Try to include Centrica's values in your answers as much as possible.
