Overview
As a manufacturing engineer, I'm part of the production engineering team at Boeing's manufacturing facility in Sheffield. The factory produces actuator parts for the 737 flap transmission. We're responsible for designing and improving the manufacturing process of these parts. This includes, but is not limited to, problem solving defects, defining standard work ensuring part quality and people safety.
Skills
Everyday has been incredibly valuable as manufacturing isn't an area I had much practical experience of from uni. I've gained a wide range of skills/knowledge, from CNC machine programming & in-depth GD&T to writing of standard work & relevant specifications. I've also been immersed fully into the company which has given the opportunity to work with a large variety of people and develop my presentation/project management skills.
Responsibilities
Yes. I've had the chance to propose and lead my own projects, hosting meetings and visiting suppliers alone. Throughout the placement, I've felt valued as a member of the team.
Support & Guidance
My manager and supervisor have been incredibly supportive since before the placement even started. I've always felt valued and received support whenever I've need it, with regular one to ones. The wider team has also been incredibly helpful in guiding me through new processes and collaborating.
Culture
Incredibly friendly and professional. Everyone's opinions and valued and respected. There's a strong sense of teamwork both within the engineering department and cross-functionally.
Your Impressions
This placement was a big leap for me, moving 4 hours from home/university to a new city. However, it's been an incredibly enjoyable year. The work community has ensured I've found my feet in a new city, making me happy to come to work every day. The knowledge and skills I've gained will be incredibly for university and the rest of my career.
Yes
Ensure you research what role you're applying for. Boeing has an incredibly wide range of job opportunities in the UK. I'm sure all of them are very valuable placements and the company is a great place to work so choose carefully.
