Overview
Joined project calls, completed R&D packaging tests, produced reports and analysed the data to make decisions on how to best move forward with the project.
Skills
Developed confidence to share my opinions to help projects progress, built on team working, leadership and communication skills and learnt more about the food industry and how it works as a cross functional company.
Responsibilities
Yes I was given my own projects to run as a packaging engineer. I also got many opportunities to further my professional development and increase my responsibilities as required.
Support & Guidance
I got a good level of support, with frequent meetings with the First Gen team (who organise the placement scheme in the company) and my manager
Culture
Very hardworking but rewarding.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed my placement very much and would recommend anyone looking to learn more about the food industry. It has been a great opportunity and has allowed me to get an insight on what a full time corporate job is like.
