Paint process engineer Review

The role itself is not fixed, but I work alot using Agile, so I attend stand up meetings and work in 2 week sprints, I also take on projects which could include improving quality or creating a process for a vehicle or paint application. I work closely with other teams such as plant launch teams and engineering teams.

I had seasons where I definitely had good responsibility, but there were other seasons where I did not have much to take on.

Stakeholder Management/ Engagement
Project management
Communication
Presentation skills
Problem Solving
Data Analysis
Process and complex system analysis
Technical Knowledge of paint systems
Attention to detail

The people around me were very supportive- Many times you would have to collaborate with people outside your team/function, but many were willing to teach me things and they accommodated my lack of knowledge/experience.

The company has an incredible people centred focus which was new to me. There are also a lot of opportunities to grow outside of your day job, such as the Team Improvement Circle (TIC) and many others. There's many networks to get involved in which reminds of how Universities often have many societies. Overall, you can tell that the company focuses much on personal growth as well as professional.

I thoroughly enjoyed my Placement. Although I had a rough start due to lack of responsibility, it's taught me a lot about myself and how I can bring my best self to work. My technical knowledge has increased as well as my soft skills; being the only unexperienced person in my team was humbling- but the confidence I have gained Is great and I will Carry the same confidence into my final year.
