Initially, this position was based in the stock control department during

harvest time, where I was

responsible for the intake of stock up to the value of £18k daily. During

my time at university, I have worked with the engineering department with

the site engineers in the running and maintenance of the plant. This

valuable experience included the redesign of components for mechanical

systems. I also has the opportunity to design components on site for

plant use.

Principally a labouring position but had the opportunity to work alongside

the company engineers, o ften under extremely difficult conditions. I was

ranging from small four -wheel bulldozers, to 18-wheel arctic lorries.

This position required working under very dangerous conditions.

myself in dependently throughout University.
