The Role
Good variety of work and friendly colleagues.
The group I worked with was a very close knit team so I felt part of the unit very soon.
Regular meetings to review progress and support offered with work whenever needed.
Varied but generally quite busy.
This increased with experience. Project based part of the work offered a lot of responsibility.
A variety of technical and interpersonal skills gained which are transferrable to uni and any other work place.
The Company
Relaxed and focussed.
Quite well organised with yearly goals established early in the placement.
Training provided in areas such as robot programming, risk analysis and problem solving.
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
