Job Satisfaction at CSL

I work quite independently, having been given my own project to deliver on at the start of my rotation. Each day looks different depending on what needs to be done - I am usually either in the lab running experiments, processing data or having meetings/discussions about the results.

Often boring, tedious work. A lot of it is necessary and important though

Creating plans, involving isolations so work can be carried out safely by the techs. Ensuring parts arrive in time for preventative maintenance to be carried out. Fixing things throughout the plant as they do not work. Assisting in shutdown and planning of shutdowns. Assisting in requests outside of my department. Helping process requests to alter master data within SAP.

I work mainly on implementing process or material changes to improve the processes or address issues. I also spend time on the floor observing the manufacturing operations.

My day-to-day responsibilities include planning and executing experiments. It also involves writing experimental reports and populating ELNs.

Mix of project management and technical engineering work: Equipment procurement.Drafting engineering documents (alarms list, functional and design specifications for equipment). On site works (managing construction, commissioning activities)

Management and monitoring of waters systems. Resolution of breakdown. Improving gaps in existing procedures

Hybrid mix of desk and hands-on work. More explicitly documentation and mechanical tasks.

In my role I assist scientists with their experiments. I also plan and run my own experiments and formally write up results.
