Soni - Supplier Parts Quality Intern, Rolls-Royce

It was Soni’s love of cars that attracted him to completing an internship with the BMW Group. In this interview, he explains how his mechanical engineering course at university helped him in his role as a Supplier Quality Parts Intern.

I love cars and knew that I wanted to complete a placement year with BMW Group. I visited the website and applied for Internships which I felt were most appealing and appropriate for my degree. My role as ‘Supplier Parts Quality Intern’ is quite varied, and you gain experience in different topics across the team. My degree provided valuable knowledge of technical drawings and parts. We compare parts against Engineering Drawings to identify any deviations from company standards. I liaise with suppliers regarding faults, and my degree means that I understand the technical terminology, which prevents confusion and being misled. How have you found your internship? I enjoyed the Supplier Parts Quality placement. I got to be involved in a range of topics and to experience all the difference aspects of a typical Front Desk Parts Quality Engineer’s. It feels satisfying helping the Department to reach their target, making managers happy and helping the business. I have had the opportunity to meet a variety of people through being introduced to them or just taking the initiative to talk to them. I got to connect with a few people from my own Department and from Assembly Line. The great thing about Rolls-Royce is that employees have a variety of career paths. There is no one size fits all. Some have some through being an Apprentice, Associate, Graduate etc to the position there are now from different backgrounds. You do not necessarily need to have a passion for cars.

Testimonials

Working for a much-loved brand that is respected all over the world is really inspiring. We also have a very close-knit and welcoming culture

At the start of the programme, we had a team building event which was a great way to know other new graduates. Understanding each other’s strengths and weaknesses means we collaborate really well. There’s a great sense of camaraderie.

I’ve had the opportunity to travel internationally

The graduate programme is an incredible experience, especially as I’ve had the opportunity to travel internationally and work within a different culture. I’ve also had the chance to work in departments which are at two ends of the spectrum: manufacturing and marketing.

What surprises me most is how sustainable and future-focused the company is.

A lot of environmental work is done, looking at how we can make an impact with climate protection across the company and within society. The plant isn’t huge so it’s easy to make an impact compared to working at a large manufacturing plant.
I’ve always liked STEM subjects, at college I picked maths, chemistry, biology for A level. I knew I wanted a get a degree and with Rolls-Royce paying for my studies, I’ve now got a BSC in Project Management and 3 years’ work experience with Rolls-Royce, which is great. I’ve had such a positive experience here. There is a big focus on diversity and inclusion and there are lots of resource groups for women that help to empower us and drive equality in the workplace. My cohort was 50/50 women and men and people are from all sorts of different backgrounds.
