The Role
Very good placement within small team with challenging objectives.
Small, tight team provided the oppurtunity to get heavily involved in the project and provide a greater contribution.
Approachable manager meant that guidance was always available when necessary
As the project has a key engineering milestone placed upon it, this meant that there was always enough work to do on the project.
Responsibility given for achieving all of own objectives and for contributing to the overall project
Time management, design and communictaion skills developed are all skills that I can easily transfer to my next placement/future roles.
The Company
Within the team, there was a very positive friendly atmosphere.
Any required training identified is paid for by the company
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
Above 25 days holiday
The Culture
Good graduate scene in Cardiff.
During my 6 month placement, I have completed the three peaks for charity and been involved with squash and football activities outside of work
