Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I run reports, create orders and manage the production and communication of Turbo components to the assembly line. i check against shortages so that the turbos planned in have clear stock of parts. i also deal with any replanning of turbos that have failed or have damaged parts etc.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
yes. almost too much responsibility. i was responsible for covering colleagues from an early stage where no one else would know how to complete the job. my knowledge was relied upon heavily.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
