What else do I need to know?
SMT has a long history of taking students for placement years, and students are given stimulating and interesting
projects to work on that are genuinely valued. Being a placement student at SMT typically involves a mixture of
desk based office work and experimentation on the factory floor, with plenty of opportunity to contribute to the
direction and scope of your work. Employees have a real sense of pride in their work, and SMT’s success was
