Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role requires me to Maintain and manage part of a production line which is constantly running. Any engineering, process or general issues that occur on the line I will try to solve using problem solving skills and communicating with the correct departments to solve the problem together.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I had responsibility for the quality of cars coming off of the production lines. If a car came off the line with a problem that occurred from my area, I would be responsible for that problem and would have to develop a preventative measure so It doesn't happen to any other cars.
