Automation maintenance technician interview

Post by Pog88 »

Hi all.

I have an interview for automation maintenance technician soon.

It’s on a teams meeting and if I’m successful I will have a follow up practical test.

I just wondered if anyone here has ever worked on maintenance for Royal Mail before? And what to expect in an interview?

I have never had an interview before as I have worked for the same company since I left school, to say I’m nervous is an understatement.

Thanks in advance

Sounds like a good job, one of my mates works in factory automation, PLC's apparently,
presumably a similar industry, he gets paid s**t loads, good luck both of you.

Vehicle techs and automation techs are vastly different paths and with no cross-overs in training.

Nobody even mentioned anything about vehicle mechs/ techs.

Turbopeanut did, and subsequently removed his post.
Was it really important to you to resurrect a historical post such as this?
