As of April 2022, I am 7 months into my 12-month placement at Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains. A couple of weeks ago, I changed rotations – gone from working for the Head of Department to working in the Structural Team: team that is responsible for developing the crankcase, heads and front cover for a more mechanical engineering orientated role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are 8 items that I have learned from my time at HPP, concerning working in a team:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Long-term healthy relationships with colleagues are more important that achieving short-term goals.<\/li>
  2. One is unaware of what a healthy work-life balance looks like until it becomes very bad.<\/li>
  3. Keeping your manager up-to-date with your progress will save you from uncomfortable future situations. <\/li>
  4. Document everything, save everything.<\/li>
  5. Priorities must be sorted at the beginning of the day.<\/li>
  6. If someone asks you for a job, make sure this is agreed with your manager. Your manager is in the position of giving you tasks, not yourself.<\/li>
  7. Always understand the what, why, when of each project.<\/li>
  8. If a task has not got a specific deadline, is most likely not urgent.<\/li>
  9. Bonus: evening walks recommended, especially in Brixworth during the golden hour. Pictures below. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I am not featuring any technical items due to company IP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
