I wanted to experience what it’s like to work in an international, professional environment. HITEC immediately stood out to me because of its technical focus and B2B approach, completely different from the creative marketing projects I’ve been used to at university. Here, I get the opportunity to put my theoretical knowledge into practice, while gaining a better understanding of how strategy, communication, and creativity come together in a specialised industry.
From day one, I felt welcomed at HITEC. The atmosphere is open and professional, and colleagues really take the time to help you get started. Whether you’re an intern or a senior team member, everyone is approachable and happy to share their knowledge. What surprised me most was the scale and importance of the DRUPS systems. It’s impressive to see up close how these systems provide providing reliable power to many key markets such as healthcare, data centers, infrastructure and semi-conductors. As a sports fan, I especially loved discovering that Hitec provides uninterruptable power solutions to the Principality stadium in Wales.
During my internship, I contribute to modernising HITEC’s marketing strategy, with a focus on social media. At the same time, I’m learning a lot on a personal level. Working at an organization where collaboration between departments is essential gives me the opportunity to communicate with people from various fields and cultures. These are skills that I highly value and will carry with me in my future career.
Whether you're an intern or a senior team member, everyone is approachable and open to share their knowledge. You’re encouraged to ask questions and share ideas, that's what makes it a great learning environment.
