I really enjoyed all aspects of my placement. I found the work I was doing interesting and enjoyed the challenge of continously having to develop my products, present and justify my chemistry and learn valuable chemical and lab skills.
My placement year at Lubrizol was thoroughly enjoyable. The project work was challenging whilst still remaining interesting.

Lubrizol has been a great place to work with the placement year being extremely rewarding.
I enjoyed talking to the people there who where in many of the different departments and doing many different things that i had never done before.
Although I was mostly doing menial jobs, there were plenty of opportunities to speak with lots of people within the department. They each gave me a detailed insight into their roles, and this was what really made the week for me.
I thoroughly enjoyed my work placement with Lubrizol. I was able to get an insight into how IS is practiced/implemented within the workplace and make some good friends along the way.
i enjoyed my placement a lot, every area of work was very interesting in its own way, i felt welcomed by all of the friendly staff, and felt saddened when leaving the site for the last time. i would definitely take the opportunity to get work with them again.
On the whole, I enjoyed my placement. It has been a very valuable year. My laboratory skills have improved, as has my knowledge of analytical chemistry and time management. Certain aspects of the work were very interesting, such as: non-standard analysis with my supervisor, project work and other problem solving. The routine testing (which takes up most of the placement) is initially interesting whilst learning about the techniques, but can soon grow tedious with repetition. Tests that are more manual in nature can also be be quite labour-intensive when sample backlogs are large.
I've enjoyed the placement immensely and was fortunate enough to interact with a whole host of colleagues in nearly all departments present at Hazelwood. The staff at the site are all very welcoming and are keen to help out should you need help or advice. There were plenty of opportunities to improve and develop skills, as well as be introduced and learn new knowledge in areas not heavily accustomed to e.g. chemists understanding basics of automotive tehcnology.
I have enjoyed my placement, it has been a useful learning experience and I have found the work both interesting and varied. There are also plenty of things going on at lubrizol outside of the working day which I took part in.
