Overview
I work on moving non-conforming units through retests, as well as managing production lines by either creating projects to reduce defects occuring or by providing them with the correct tools to make their lives as easy as possible. I also would complete emergency jobs, as well as running data investigations to check the efficiency of the area.
Skills
I have developed my time management and communication/ public speaking skills. I was also given further training regarding lean six sigma and defect reduction techniques which helped in understanding how to both find areas of concern and correct it. I have also learnt the value of focus and dedication, as often that is the reason why a project succeeds
Responsibilities
By the end of my placement I was in charge of 75% of the production taking place in an area, running meetings whilst coordinating projects to improve those lines. Whilst this might be due to the unique circumstances of my placement, I was given a significant role in my placement.
Support & Guidance
I recieved plenty of help from both my manager and from other manufacturing engineers and members of staff. Generally everyone on site was happy to help if asked.
Culture
Generally the culture was very friendly with most people asking to help out. Whilst there was some hostility between members of the team and members of the wide team generally people were helpful and friendly to me.
Your Impressions
I think due to the hostility in my team it was challenging to enjoy all of it, however the work was generally fufilling and rewarding and I have met good people who have made it enjoyable.
Yes
Prepare your CV and covering letter well if you get to the interview stage make sure to write down experiences you can draw from easily. don't be afraid to ask for 30 seconds but make sure you answer every question to the best of your abilities. On day one make sure to ask plenty of questions and seek out work and opportunities.
