Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
In my day-to-day role, I work extensively with factory data, ranging from environmental metrics to machine efficiency indicators. My responsibilities include collecting and analyzing this data to support both reactive and proactive decision-making. I focus on identifying areas for improvement, tracking progress, and enabling predictive maintenance strategies. Much of my work is project-based, requiring a structured approach to problem-solving and continuous collaboration across teams to drive operational excellence.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Over the past year, I have had the opportunity to take on a high level of responsibility, particularly in leading data solutions for the factory. This experience reflected the trust my team placed in me and helped build my confidence in my abilities. I have gained extensive knowledge in areas such as data analysis, operational efficiency, and predictive maintenance. Just as importantly, I have developed strong interpersonal skills, grown in professionalism, and become more confident in leading projects. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking to gain meaningful insight into the workplace and grow both technically and personally.
