I manage engineering projects for my company, which are mostly packaging and automations projects. As we make lots of different types of biscuits and snacks every project is different and there is a lot of variety within the job. I really enjoy learning about how changing our processes affects our products and its really interesting building projects for new lines and new product types.
My Typical Day: I spend my days managing current engineering projects for the site which I work at and also planning for future projects including line upgrades, identifying new equipment and working on improvements to our lines and processes.
