Interesting & variad work
Rollingstock Maintainer (Former Employee) – Keswick SA – 16 June 2018
Was a great place to work with good work mates, pity it did flow through to management after a forced change, lack of communication from the top to the work force caused a lack of confidence in management especially when forced redundancies took place as a lot of good loyal workmates were forced out.
Pros
Good work mates, previous manager & the socialising at work.
Cons
long shifts, lack of communication & new managemnt not trustworthy.
job is a solitary play without team work
Draftsman (Former Employee) – Macquarie Centre NSW – 6 June 2018
Throughout the company senior and middle management suck.
While permanent staff doing the politics only hied staff trying to trying to push through.
Managers, Engineers and drafters are the worst to come across in the construction industry.
Anyhow no job pressure as mangers do not care.
Receiving and forwarding an email is more than enough to survive.

Productivity with safety & quality
Maintenance Technician (Former Employee) – Auburn NSW – 23 November 2017
We get all the parts to assembly the valves.
Learned to assemble 100% accuracy first time.
Inspect all the important parts to the drawings and then continue assembly, so that no time wasted in dismantling faulty products.
Management was supportive in fixing any issues with parts.
We work in teams to the product to meet the customer demand.
Few critical parts should be kept in special containers not to damage the contact area to avoid leaks. This is taken care by high level of house keeping.
When i get the appreciation from customer for the quality of the product.
