I started working in Combilift’s layouts department in 2021 as part of my engineering placement from Harper Adams University. This experience improved my communication skills through international collaboration with customers and dealers while giving me valuable insight into an engineering role. I particularly enjoyed creating 3D animations to help customers understand the benefits of Combilift trucks, making my work feel impactful. I highly recommend Combilift to future placement students. With diverse roles available, it offers a rewarding experience tailored to different career interests.
