Hello all. I applied for a "Manufacturing Engineer" position with a company producing composite cloth. The job requires a degree. I am an IEng with a CGLI Full Tech. Cert. and experience. I have had a phone interview. The man interviewing me said they would provide me with a full set of tools and that I would spend a lot of time taking things apart. I asked about drafting and was told I could choose the software package. A friend runs a machine shop and does a lot of work for them. He told me I would be doing about 95% 'on the bench' and 5% drafting. The job description covers the full spectrum of tasks an 'engineer' would expect but it seems more of a 'fitter' type position. The previous bloke apparently had a degree but could not manage a pencil sketch and would often bring a component and ask to 'make this hole a bit bigger.'
Of the list of responsibilities I was asked to choose the three I would like most and three I would like least, which caught me off guard.
Has anyone on the forum come across this sort of set up?
I may have to chalk it up to interview experience!
Cheers
