Manufacturing IT Placement Student – Cummins

Posted on by

Currently, I am on my Industrial Year placement at Cummins Inc. within the Cummins Business Services (CBS) branch.

I am employed as a Manufacturing IT Placement Student. This role is dynamic and mainly surrounds systems and maintenance rather than software development.
I support the manufacturing systems on site at Huddersfield and have exposure to sites across the EMEA region, even hosting regular meetings with sites in Russia.

Cummins are currently hiring for a variety of positions starting July 2022, suitable for undergraduate students looking for an Industrial Year placement. These cover a variety of different subjects, but there are several computing and IT placements available to view on their careers website: https://cummins-uk.jobs & information at https://www.cummins.com/careers/working-at-cummins
These positions are located in Darlington, Daventry, and Huddersfield; with opportunities for international travel available. As part of my re-location to Huddersfield, Cummins paid for a weeks trip, even providing me a corporate card and hire car!

My position for the 2022 hiring run is now live on the job site at https://cummins-uk.jobs/darlington-gbr/cbs-it-manufacturing-it-placement-student/C644CD3AF09846A49B01668C6885994C/job/
This is the perfect role for anyone who is does not like programming too much, but thoroughly enjoys systems and network administration.
Currently, only a limited number of people have applied for the placement, so I would recommend applying to present a good first impression.
