Interview Questions

Willing to work more than 60 miles from home city

I am willing to take emergency contracts

I am willing to work nights or afternoon shifts

I am willing to work on Saturdays

I am willing to work on Sundays

I have 28 years experience in the field primarily with startups and breakdowns. Debugging / Troubleshooting is my specialty. I am a very hands on and on the plant floor type of engineer. I work well with trades and in union environments. I grew up on an 1100 acre dairy farm, so I have been working on automation since I could walk. My grandfather was a millwright at GM Moriane, my entire educational goal was to get myself onto that plant floor and I ve stayed there nearly 30 years.
