Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involves updating the daily downtime data to find trends for areas that need to be looked into as recurring issues. Additionally, working on different projects to address these breakdowns such as installing new parts and putting new procedures in place to improve machine reliability.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a reasonable amount of responsibility through being responsible for providing feedback for some of the data during the weekly meetings. Additionally i was responsible for a range of projects and work streams during the year from packaging machines to water valves.
