What do you do at Prysmian?

I am currently doing my first job rotation in the R&D Department in Melaka, Malaysia. Besides learning the ropes from the experienced engineers here, I also help with the design and costing of cables along with my designated project. I will be continuing my second job rotation in Cikampek, Indonesia where I will be working in Operations.
