Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Daily interactions within my team, and also to other teams, where questions outside the team specialisms were required. Projects included responding to external feedback on a safety and maintenance policy, justifying the safety claims and report writing. An additional project was recording and categorising design vs manufacture deviations on vessel parts, including safety justification for their continued use. Attended and contributed to core team meetings and wider team meetings.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a reasonably high degree of responsibility, to complete my project and know when and where to ask for help. I was required to work independently and use my own judgement when updating or justifying the policy on question. I was given the responsibility to handle classified information, and to work on a official-sensitive document.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I feel I was able to develop my research and written communications skills, including my understanding on where is appropriate to outsource for help, and where I work independently. Critical thinking and technical judgement skills were also developed, and I learnt to use the internal company computing systems proficiently during my 10 weeks at the company.
