I would also regularly collaborate with operations personnel to investigate and assess processes with the aim of determining environmental compliance and/or operational effectiveness/efficiency.
To assist in the day to day running of the engineering department
As an annual mechanical placement student the role consisted of working within different departments (facilities, fuels, drawing office, Work shops...) and across the different production lines on site. The role helped to develop and understanding of what the different departments do and also allowed you to pick up lots of different jobs and slight larger project type work working within the departments and across the lines. Various engineering related jobs from designing, 3d printing and document prep to surveys of plant, physically going on the lines to problem solve and data analysis.
the majority of it starts with any emails that I may need to reply to. Then, I tend to get on with work that will either be a continuation of what I was doing previously or the start of a newer project.

I produce copy for internal and external print publications and edit those from time to time. I manage central email communications and host weekly planning meetings. I assist with the community programme and distribute donations and payments accordingly. Etc.
My daily tasks include sample preparation, digestion, analysis and data processing.

Part of the new product development team, conducted various lab work or modelling to facilitate these NPD projects. Was also involved in day to day problem solving around issues arising from the production line. Long term project focused on natural gas consumption and carbon dioxide production modelling.
Overall good experience.
I have been handed with many responsibilities that exceeded my expectations in terms of learning and developing, always working in a very friendly environment that made the experience very enjoyable
Thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of my time. The team were very accommodating and allowed me a lot of scope to try new things as well as taking me under their wing and progressing me as an individual. I have learnt plenty and had regular review sessions to ensure I am on track.
It was really enjoyable with opportunities to learn. Some tasks I did didn't interest me at all, yet some were really fun! It's about finding the balance, so overall it was fantastic
The placement was good with a range of projects to keep me busy, though getting to that point took a little while with a slow start. The people there were in the main very friendly and eager to help me get involved in learning as much about the company as they could.
Really enjoyed my first intership at Tata Steel. I was based in a small development team and had my own projects to work on. They were all very accommodating and helpful during my time there and I learned so much!
The company as whole is very interesting. Having tours of 2 Tata steel plants was very enjoyable. I was assigned a project as part of my 12 week placement. Although the task being asked of myself was straightforward and simple, getting information/ items from others where the difficult parts. Often this made the project a struggle, as someone who wants to do the best they can it's hard when there are so many issues stacked against you.
When I get to see the different lines on site its exciting, office work can be a bit quiet.
Very much. I throughly enjoyed my placement with Tata Steel in Trostre, they really made me feel like one of the team.
Currently in my 4th week, I am thoroughly enjoying my internship so far. I have learnt and developed upon my previous skills and knowledge and I am keen to continue learning.
