The job descriptions in Engineering have been restructured to align with the engineering councils requirements for incorporation which will make my path towards an incorporated engineer even easier.
How has ASMPT helped you in your career progression?
I am currently working with my manager to complete a gap analysis. This will identify the areas I need to improve to be promoted to an engineer, its a very transparent process.
How does ASMPT support work life balance?
I love the flexible working policy at ASMPT, if I bank some hours during the week I can finish early on Friday and head down to the beach! You can vary your start time as well depending on what suits your lifestyle, for me I like to go to the business subsidised gym before work and start a little later.
What are some of the benefits that ASMPT provided throughout your role?
There are some great benefits, I enjoy having the option to work from home when I need to focus. The summer and Christmas parties are amazing. I love the subsidised gym membership and the clubs put on by the sports and social committee.
