Interviewed with my the department manager and his boss.

Next online paychometric evaluation followed with an independent psych evaluation agency. The test was about 3hrs long and this examination was observed and feedback was given immediately.
Medical test followed.
After which the hiring manager called to tell me i was successful and pitched me the pay. I had to negotiate and after which he fed told HR what he wanted and a letter of offer was sent out.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I was able to negotiate. HR had a HAYS matrix that is normally applied for all Caltex positions and their levels are transparent. I told the department manager that i'd like something more than being in the lower limit of my pay scale and was given the amount that I asked for. Then again I pitched a bit low. But I was told that after a year the chances of me going up a pay scale were significant. And now at the year end, I am pretty confident of achieving that target. Bonuses for this year seem pretty good so far.
When hiring with Caltex there is a ~50 odd number. Pay attention to that number as it is the pay grade that has been assigned to that position. Each pay grade has an upper and lower limit. find that limits and try to aim to obtain closer to the upper limit of that pay grade. Asking for more than that, might put the hiring manager off, but then again maybe you are worth it.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Personality Test and a Drug Test.
