I knew I didn't want a job that meant I was based at my desk all day and provided me with variety. Well I got one! Yesterday I have spend the whole day up and down the 100+ stairs of the factory (many times), following process lines to ensure diagrams are correct, peering inside milk tanks and measuring cleaning chemical strengths in the lab. The day before that I was in and out of meetings all day. This included reviewing contracts with different suppliers and then meeting a project team discussing how to make even better chocolate.
As a process engineer one of the key attributes is to be accountable; never believe what you are told, always go and check it yourself and always follow up the work you start. I have become a very proficient list maker to ensure that (hopefully) nothing gets forgotten and that things get prioritised. It's fun having a number of different projects on the go.
