Paint Programmes Global Manufacturing Engineering Review

I am required to develop new technology for new model vehicles entering the JLR halewood site from a manufacturing engineering perspective. I work with design teams, programmes teams and other ME technologies to help produce a finished vehicle and help support JLR launch operations.

I was given a lot of responsibility during my project, leading a key programme manufacturing research project and introducing a new facility. I have also been responsible for key projects for my team.

I have developed presenting skills, interpersonal skills and team working skills. I have gained new skills in business, negotiation and more.

I received a lot of support and guidance during my placement, from co-workers all the way to senior management. I am very pleased with the support and connections I have made on this placement.

JLR is very keen to promote DE&I which is great and the company does a lot to ensure that people are looked after in the company. However, working in a manufacturing site their is still some work that needs to be done to make it more inclusive. I do feel that JLR is working towards this.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my placement year at JLR and have been able to gain some truely amazing experiences. I would like to have received some more formal training at points but otherwise my experience has been exceptional!
