Emma Robinson, a member of Nestlé’s graduate program, emphasizes the creativity within engineering roles. She operates at the Nestlé Product Technology Centre in York, the hub for confectionery innovation like KitKat. Emma designs custom machinery for chocolate production and anticipates a shift to Nestlé’s Buxton facility to work on water-related projects, broadening her engineering expertise.
Having pursued a chemical engineering master’s degree due to her passion for chemistry, Emma values the diverse opportunities Nestlé provides across sectors and global locations. Her daily tasks range from pilot plant trials to creating 3D models and process diagrams. Emma credits her rapid skill development to the supportive team environment and mentorship, highlighting the importance of collaborative learning.
While focused on completing the program and securing a permanent position at Nestlé, Emma also engages in educational outreach to inspire young girls in STEM fields. She appreciates the teamwork culture at Nestlé more than the abundance of chocolate, relishing the cross-functional collaboration and the satisfaction of seeing products she’s worked on displayed in stores.
