Overview
Project work for new technology development to reduce energy. Day to day: meetings, design work, research, presentations, planning and logistics. Managing project from start to completion
Skills
Project management, design work, teamwork, leadership, collaboration
Responsibilities
Yes, I lead a design project for a new installation in the pilot plant. I was able to research, design, install and commission the unit
Support & Guidance
A fair amount. At the start it was slightly lacking, but this was due to a restructure of the company and having remote management, and the team remaining in Banbury were very welcoming and helpful as far as possible. After the first few months, the restructure was complete and the support was excellent, including weekly calls, project updates and manager meetings
Culture
Excellent atmosphere. lots of office and wider events to ensure everyone is involved.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed the placement. It was the perfect placement for a chemical engineering student with an interest in food and production engineering. I learned valuable skills for the industry and got to be involved with unique experiences including running the pilot plant, tastings and travel
Yes
My exact role is not currently being continued, but the experience i gained from the company was excellent. Be prepared to learn everything about coffee, get involved with as much as possible, jump in from the very start and be open and accepting of advice from others
