Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

It changes a lot day to day with some projects lasting around 2 weeks and others lasting entire placements, but i would say that normally I will be working on continuous improvement projects and streamlining the processes already in place.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given responsibility with work loads, scheduling and projects.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
