Burton upon Trent, United Kingdom Pirelli Full time

Pirelli is an international group with a global brand presence, and is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high performance tyres. Pirelli UK Tyres Ltd is the company responsible for all of the Pirelli Tyre related operations in the UK. For more information please visit www.pirelli.co.uk

A 12 month placement is available within the Materials Industrial Department. The role involves working in an industrial environment as part of a team that is responsible for improving operating procedures, efficiencies and overall improvement projects to support the manufacture and quality assurance of rubber compound, textile and metallic fabric components used in the production of tyres.

Main duties include:

Collation and analysis of production data and key performance indicators and encourage continual improvementLiaise with some site services providers Aid the team in implementing and maintaining LEAN processes Participate in problem solving groups in order to improve efficiencyEnsure that the relevant safety procedures and standard operating procedures are maintainedTaking responsibility for a work based projectMachine and method of work studies in factory for purposes of data collection/correlation for improving efficiency whilst maintaining high safety and quality standards

Our requirements:

Studying to degree levelGood keyboard skills and proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite.Willing to get ‘your hands dirty’ in re-designing more efficient lay-out etc in the factory.Organisational skills and self-motivated, able to work on your own initiative in a fast-paced environment.Good communication skills, and able to work effectively as part of a teamA full clean driving licence is desirable, as there may be an opportunity to travel to our Carlisle site

Previous student insight on the role:

Before starting the role I wasn’t aware of just how many different tasks I would be doing and how many people from different departments I would be in communication with. This has been a good thing as it has kept the job interesting and has meant that I’m constantly learning new things and never bored.

I also didn’t realise how much involvement I’d have with the factory. Part of my job is to go into the factory for meetings, to make observations on machines and to talk to people from various roles within the factory in order to make improvements. Although this sounds daunting, I went into the job with no knowledge of the factory and was never expected to understand straight away and be thrown into the deep end. Doing this also makes the job more interesting as I’m not stuck at my desk all day

Using Excel is a big part of the job, and one I didn’t have a huge amount of knowledge/experience with. However, having been in the job for around 8 weeks now, I am much more proficient and can successfully analyse data in lots of different ways, which I have learnt from my colleagues and the student before me. I also think that this will be useful going when I continue with my Business Degree.

Many of my tasks involve data analysis, which largely consists of creating graphs of losses we’ve had in the factory, and either collaborating with other departments to try to reduce the losses or closely monitoring the problem and trying to find the source of the problem.

Other things I have taken part in so far are weekly meetings, re-arranging layouts in the factory, and performing small tests on machines to identify the cause of a problem, just to name a few.

These are some of the things that a placement at Pirelli can provide. Are you ready to be challenged?

Employee benefits include:

33 days holiday per year (inclusive of bank holidays)Pension scheme with linked life insuranceEmployee discount schemeEmployee assistance programmeDiscounted tyre vouchers

The successful candidate must, by the commencement of employment, have the right to work in the UK.
