Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role is to answer daily queries from our customs broker, this includes advising tariffs and CPCs needed to clear shipments through customs. I also carry out quarterly audits, complete monthly reports and support other members of my team as and when needed.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, for example queries from our customs broker were quickly became a task i did independently. This is important to do correctly as the company could face fines if incorrect information is given continuously. Anoth task I handled was ensuring our exports do not reach P5 stage, if this happens the company would be liable and could possibly face fines for this too.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Cummins to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Cummins
Make sure you know at least basic excel skills (eg vlookups, how to use filters, using pivot tables etc) as for my role nearly al my tasks were based on excel. It is a really good skill to have and will make the first few weeks a lot smoother.
