Dutypoint is proud to offer student placement opportunities for engineering students and other industries to universities nationwide, who want to learn more about the industry from professionals and gain on-site experience. Recently, we were joined at our head office by George, an engineering student from the University of Bristol, who joined our teams for six months.
Throughout his placement, George worked primarily with our New Product Development team and our team of Technical Engineers. By joining those teams, George experienced a diverse range of projects and could apply the theoretical knowledge he gained at university to real-world challenges engineers face.
During his time with the NPD Team, George highlighted his experience with advanced machinery, such as the 3D printer. He learnt about the software used by Dutypoint, allowing him to expand his knowledge about the industry.
George has since expressed how the experience he gained from this placement will aid him when applying for jobs once he has graduated, and what he has learned through these six months by working with our teams will benefit what he may encounter in the future. George and prior students highly recommend an internship with Dutypoint, which provides invaluable experience for those seeking to join the water industry.
The Dutypoint team wish George luck for his future, and we hope our paths will cross again.
George, Dutypoint intern, says:
“Thank you for the incredible opportunity to intern at Dutypoint as an engineer over the past 6 months. It has been an enriching and invaluable experience that has contributed significantly to my personal and professional growth.
Throughout my internship, I had the privilege of working with an exceptionally talented and supportive team. I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the NPD Team and Technical Engineering for their guidance, mentorship, and patience. Their willingness to share their knowledge and expertise has been instrumental in enhancing my skills and understanding of the engineering field.
As my internship concludes, I want to express my eagerness to stay connected with Dutypoint. I am hopeful that our paths will cross again, whether through future collaborations, networking events, or as a potential member of the Dutypoint team. I am truly excited about the possibilities that lie ahead.”
