Meet Kayleigh Williams, Inspector and IPC Trainer here at Philtronics. Kayleigh has been an important asset to Philtronics during her time here. Having started as Production Operator in 2010 and progressed to Team Leader, then Inspector, Kayleigh has been integral to the growth and development of the Philtronics team.
We recently sat down with Kayleigh to learn more about her Philtronics journey, what she’s enjoyed about her time here so far, and how the different development opportunities have shaped her role.
A. My role involves training not only new starters but also training experienced Philtronics employees. I recently passed my IPC/WHMA-A-620 Certified Trainer exam, so I can provide training on ensuring and certifying the quality and reliability of box build assemblies.
I’m really passionate about helping others develop in their roles and build their confidence so that they enjoy coming to work every day. My product knowledge and experience of Philtronics really helps others in the company with this.
When the management team approached me and asked if I would be interested in a training role, I was really thrilled as it was a great step for my personal development but it was also something I knew could have a positive impact on the team too.
A. I’ve seen a huge benefit from having the training Academy. It’s an amazing space which is used by the whole team, not just me. The Academy is adaptable for all types of training, which has been reinforced by the kind words of my trainer, Rob, who called the Academy ‘the perfect training space’.
We do training on all kinds of subjects at the Academy, but my area of expertise covers soldering, measuring cable assemblies & wires, crimp and soldered terminations, insulation, marking, labelling and securing finished assembly installation, as well as harness electrical shielding and testing.
A. I had heard of Philtronics before I started working here as it's so well known locally, but it wasn't until I applied for a role here and found out more about the company that I realised Philtronics and I would be the perfect fit and that it would be a brilliant company for me to work at.
There are lots of different reasons that makes Philtronics an amazing company to work for, but the first one that comes to mind for me is definitely the people; there's a great sense of teamwork amongst the team which truly makes the company great. The management team have also really helped me to grow professionally here and really look to create jobs that last for life. I've been provided with so many different opportunities and to go on different courses; I've been incredibly supported throughout my career here and it's been great to be given the opportunity to show exactly what I can do.
