Even though many of our graduates will have progressed in their careers since completing a case study, they are still of interest to students who wish to gain an understanding of the world of work.

Responsible for the health of the system I am assigned to. This includes all equipment reliability, performance, reliability and asset management

Activities that are usually undertaken on a daily basis would include: assess various maintenance regimes on equipment, assess any system breakdowns, liaise with operators regarding the system performance, analysis of system data to understand current performance and liaise with the supply chain regarding spares / new equipment.

I really enjoy problem solving and being able to see the work that I produce have a real impact on the manufacturing output of our factory.

Managing operator needs with financial restrictions. I have found that plant operators will generally want an ideal solution which isn't always feasible with constraints on budget.

I was always very interested in working on site akin an industrial engineering environment. This job gives me real responsibility over a manufacturing system, which I find both challenging and interested.

I use a great deal of my mechanical degree on a day to day basis, in particular, condition monitoring and maintenance delivery theory such as reliability centred maintenance. Both of which I initially learnt about during my degree at Sheffield.

Mainly internal company training relevant to my job and the nuclear industry in general.

Nuclear graduates 2 year graduate scheme. Undertaking numerous secondments within the nuclear industry

Becoming a chartered engineer within the next 18months. Working towards an engineering management position over the next few years.

I would strongly advise summer internships at engineering companies for students studying engineering. I worked during each of my summers at university and I believe that was a great help in showing companies I had some industry experience when applying for full time jobs.
