Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Day to day operational tasks supporting IT across the site including ensuring the network is operating correctly and that end user workstations are operating correctly. This included facilitating EOL device changes and working with video conferencing and a wide range of branded IT equipment.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Quite a lot of responsibility. Only as much or as little as I was happy to take on, the team was very flexible. But I was happy with a lot of responsibility so was given projects to do solo on site and on other sites and also was responsible for all IT ordering within the Rolls-Royce Goodwood sites.
