    • Engineering Intern
      • Jun 2020 - Jul 2020

      During the early stages of the Covid-19 Pandemic, universities required students to study remotely. As such, I was able to accept an invitation to return to Colgate Palmolive as an Engineering Intern for two months. I took on various roles for the engineering department which further exposed me to industry skills such as inventory management. I was largely responsible for receiving and checking pumps and valves for a new reactor which was to be built on site later that year. I fulfilled basic maintenance engineering duties similar to my time at the company as a student trainee. Show less

      Four weeks of student vacation training are required for 4th year engineering students. This role involved shadowing the Engineering Manager as he fulfilled his daily duties. As this was a manufacturing environment, the duties were predominantly electrical fault finding and repairs. Other projects during my time at Colgate Palmolive included the installation of pumps, motors, and large tanks. I was exposed to broader industry skills including health & safety (installation of tanks requiring heavy-duty cranes), contractor management, and project budgeting. Show less
