Pros & Cons

  • Options. The number of opportunities that are available combined with the support for development and growth is paramount.
  • There is a great balance of computer to fieldwork.
  • Learning from experienced engineers.
  • The team I am working with my manager and my colleague, they are very supportive and helpful.
  • Gaining real industry experiences.
  • Depending on where you grew up and whether you decided to live locally, the location of the Glenbrook site can be a downside. This is especially true if you are used to city life, but it can also be a major upside if you are looking to move away from the traffic and lifestyle of urban areas.
  • I would like to have some experience with the operational side of heavy vehicles to further my understanding of what I ask for/expect as a Production Engineer/Shift supervisor.
  • Sometimes would be stressful directly dealing with customer requirements.
