Human Factors Engineer Review

I work in human factors, where I spend time planning and carrying out user trials to improve customer feedback.

Many skills. I have learnt lots of CAD, project management skills, and already increased my confidence by loads as well as placements such as clay modelling which was very fun.

I really enjoy working at JLR. My team are quite young, so I don't feel out of place, and I find the work i do to be constantly changing and quite exciting.

Pretty well organised, apart from the system on which we have to submit all of our Off The Job hours was pretty messy and meant we lost a lot of work.

I receive a lot of support from my manager, and have regular check-ups

A fair amount, but lecturers sometimes don't reply, or help when asked.

For me they overlap a bit, but not a lot. Within my role I don't do much maths, which is what a lot of the degree focuses on.

Yes, I currently am part of the Warwick University football team, signed up to netball through a contact in JLR and there are lots of professional events to sign up to. I am also part of STEM ambassadors, meaning that I can go to schools to educate younger students.

Yes

I love working at JLR and it doesnt feel like too much to balance (something I worried about in the beginning). I enjoy uni and all the extra-curricular activities that I can be apart of. As well as this I love the accommodation i am in, with other JLR people.

Get some good work experience, and research the business very well. I would recommend albany stundent village in terms of accommodation, for more of a uni feel.
