Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Assisting the Procurement team with tender processes, setting up new suppliers, signing and creating contracts. I also assisted other business areas with raising Purchase Orders and any other Procurement training required.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given the opportunity to lead tender processes and be the first in the UK to use a new BSH system. However, I do feel there were times when I felt ready to be given more responsibility, but wasn't necessarily pushed to my potential.
