Keeping up with political events that may affect the business and the policy around steel, whilst managing relationship with key political individuals including the local MP. Also within my role I dealt with the community and their sponsorship requests.

My role is a Blast Furnace process specialist. As part of a team we hold daily process reviews with the operators to ensure optimal production. I was given a project specifically looking at the blast furnace process influence on the Gas Cleaning Plant.

The day to day role changes depending on what is higher on the priority list. Sometimes this could be doing HAZOP preparation or isolation and immobilisation preparation. The HAZOP required new drawings to be completed sometimes. Other times P&IDS needed...

Working in the Environment and Sustainability department, my day-to-day consisted of supporting ongoing projects in improving biodiversity and the development of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). This was broken down into attending meetings, liai...

My role was to help out in a variety of engineering applications such as hazard studies, instrument verifications, and safety improvement.

I was based in the Energy Generation department with the asset improvement and integrity team. Day to day responsibility's include inspecting equipment, managing a range of maintenance projects, creating maintenance and inspection procedures and ensuring...

Took part in production trials of new material, collecting samples, testing and analysing the results of said trial. Assisted and investigated packaging steel that was out of specification in terms of its mechanical properties. Overall this involved lo...

My responsibilities involve a blend of hands-on site work, project management, technical oversight, and procurement. On a day-to-day basis, I mainly go on site (based in the Sinter Plant) alongside other engineers to address and resolve any breakdowns or...

Working along side line engineers on several tasks including organisation and installation of pressure sensors, checking safety standards ensuing guarding and warning hazard lights are working correctly. I have been in longer term projects such as looking...

I am currently in area 3 which is the post coatings area for the steel. Area 3 is comprised of: electroplating chrome line (ECCS4), electroplating tin line (ETL5), Shear line (CUL4), Polymer coating (Protact), Coil Prep 3 (CP3), Coil Inspection Line (CIL...

As a Mechanical Engineering Placement Student at Tata Steel, I work with both the Asset Improvement Team and the Blast Furnace Planning Team. My role involves supporting ongoing projects aimed at enhancing the reliability, efficiency, and performance of t...

As a member of the environmental process optimisation team, I worked on a variety of projects. Due to my background, these were mostly effluent based and covered both the Port Talbot and Llanwern sites. My day-to-day involved collecting and submitting var...

everyday is very different which is one of my favourite parts about this job, some days i can be on the line doing various tasks and others i can be sat in my office doing spreadsheets or writeups. Its very flexible and as long as i get my work done i can...

Depends on the project you're involved with. But generally attending daily team meetings, troubleshooting/surveying out on site. Then working on writing up documentation, procedures or drafting up/eding P&IDs in the office.

Daily work would involve being set a project brief and then set off to gather data and analyse trends, plan live simulations, source funding/resources, professional training, CAD modelling and to conduct research across site to develop technical documenta...

My role involved working on projects to improve or replace existing systems within the company, such as booking systems, dashboard webpages, backends. I was given a list of criteria that should be met and a basic plan and worked on this plan, then built t...

My role was to optimise and improve the effluent system at Port Talbot and Llanwern. This involved taking effluent samples at different works areas, mapping out the different inlets and outlets with drawing analysis and SME discussion, analysis lab data t...

My role as mechanical engineering placement involved projects based in many different departments from mechanical, technical, CEW, PCM and cranes. Projects would often be given verbally in general conversation. Most projects centered around fixing re-occu...

Working on the bottleneck line in the plant, the placement provides a good level of responsibility and freedom. When your not problem solving and fault finding the production line, time is spent on improving old systems. This provides a great opportunity...

Being based centrally the day is spent predominantly in the office. How busy the day was depended on the time of year and what projects you get involved with. Daily tasks involve attending meetings, forming excel spreadsheets with graphs and calculations,...
