Your initial placement will be an extended onboarding period working days as part of a production line’s day support team. During this structured development phase, you will build an in-depth understanding of our technology, manufacturing systems and leadership routines by supporting issue resolution, maintenance planning and execution, and our "run to target" approach. Once you have demonstrated the required technical, systems and leadership capability, you will transition to an operating team on shift and take on the full responsibilities of the Deputy Team Leader role.
