Back to top - What are the breaktimes and lunchtimes ?
You will have two 10 minute breaks, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Lunchbreak is 30 minutes.

Yes, though you may be required on days initially, to enable appropriate training to take place prior to beginning your specific process training.
Back to top - Will I always work on shifts ?
There are limited opportunities for some production members to work in projects for a period of time, which can be on day shift. This is where members may use their skills and experience to work on new models/projects that may be introduced in the future.
