Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Managing projects, working with both site teams and contractors to install machinery on site. Lots of people management in the lead up to installation, then on the spot problem solving in engineering scenarios as well as making sure all health and safety regulations are followed to keep everyone safe. I have taken on multiple projects of my own as well as helping the team with any ongoing projects as well
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I have been given responsibility over a number of my own projects, with oversight from my manager and support if needed. As well as this, I have owned a big task in closing a large amount of ongoing projects, as well as creating a new tracker for our team to be able to better keep all project related information in one place

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
My confidence has increased massively, as well as my general engineering knowledge in real life scenarios. I am also much better using excel and CAD as these are things I have had to use during my time here. My people skills have also improved as I have more interaction in meetings and that is a big part of this role

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
It is very relaxed and flexible, allowing me to work from home if needs be and when I have longer hours during installations I can make them back in other weeks.
Everyone is very kind and wants to help where possible, making it much easier to interact with them

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend PepsiCo to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to PepsiCo
Go into it with an open mind, there is so much more to making crisps and snacks than you would expect, so be prepared to learn and be challenged as there will be things you do not understand at the start
