The Role
Thoroughly enjoied my placement. I met lots of Knowlegable people and learned a lot.
With my close colleauges Idefinitely felt part of the family!
My supervisor felt the best way for me to learn was to go it alone and figure things out for myself. 'dont bring me problems, bring me solutions' at first was a but frustrating, but in the long run, definitely helped me develop my knowlege
Very busy days mostly, however the quiter days were still good too
Lots of responisbilty. Helping manage a department, Organising technician schedules, customer & vendor Liason. Involved with pricing and also executing on money saving lean opportunities.
Experience gained is not directly relavent to my degree however, certianly will be very useful in future life.
The Company

left to our own devices a lot of the time. 'you get out what you put in!'
