Quality Engineer at Eaton

3.4
My placement was enjoyable in that I had a lot of opportunities within work to progress, and to take on different task within my department, as well as to lead the direction of which projects I had. However the downside that I had was being the sole intern at my site but I was quickly able to make other friends here.

The placement was a great learning experience and I certainly realised how much I had grown toward the end. I enjoyed the variety of work greatly, being able to do bits of work for other departments and not being tied to my function (engineering) widened my developing skillset. It wasn't as stressful as university!

I very much enjoyed my year in industry. Throughout the year I was given a range of tasks related to the role I applied for, which allowed me to experience a broad spectrum of learning experiences. In addition to this none of the jobs I was given were 'filler tasks', it was all valued and needed work.

It was a nice and demanding experience which I can say I definitely enjoyed as it contributed to my development in many ways. I assume it changes a lot depending on the site and industry in which you are placed, but for me it was a good induction to the reality in manufacturing engineering in aerospace.

Engineering (Design) Intern at Eaton

I enjoyed the my work placement as a whole. It was real-life jobs, with real-life opportunities, with real-life consequences. The items that I designed in my office you could see them being made on mass production lines. It was very much peaks and troughs, as there were times of boredom. Also living out for the first time was an enjoyable experience.

It was a highly rewarding year, given plenty of responsibility on meaningful tasks as part of an excellent team. The value of the tasks I was completing was obvious to company, however as with any job there was also a touch of day-to-day monotony.

I felt I was unable to gain the experience I wanted from the year. Throughout, I felt rather constrained and trapped in a role that didn't enthuse me as much as I had hoped.

My placement at Eaton has been an excellent experience, which I would highly recommend. Throughout the placement I received a variety of work in different areas of Engineering, including test development and design. The intern program provides a series of training sessions to develop soft skills, such as project management and communication. These were very beneficial throughout the year and were also a good opportunity to get to know the other interns working at Eaton.

Throughout my time at Eaton I was given the opportunity by my department to work on several projects which were often very demanding. The department I was based in was very supportive in terms of my development. However, the site as a whole was under going several extreme changes whilst I was there, this impacted how much I enjoyed the placement and if I had worked with a different department my overall experience would have been worse.

I had my frustrations throughout my placement, however I have felt that it has been a valuable and real experience. The placement in the end was worth the effort and wouldn't have been a realistic experience, if I didn't have my frustrations. There are minor things Eaton could do the make the experience better, which is why an 7/10 is a good mark.

As a HR intern I wasn't expecting the level of responsibility I have had over the last year. The responsibility and the constant work flow of interesting and diverse work made the placement enjoyable and a learning experience all in one. It was challenging due to the busy environment, but it made achieving things even more rewarding.

Overall, I really enjoyed my placement year and have no regrets about choosing to do my placement at Eaton. You can really tailor your tasks within your role to your degree/interests and if there is another department you would like to try and take on work for, Eaton is very flexible when allowing you to discover what roles you would most enjoy when searching for a graduate role.
