1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I get to change placements every 3 months, which allows me to look at different areas of the company. From the drawing office, to the manufacturing line. My everyday often involves doing tasks assigned to me by my current placement, responding to emails, and writing documents usually.
