      Logistics Maintenance Engineer

      Multi skilled maintenance engineer
      Current employee
      Nottingham, England
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good shift rotation balance, only work 14 days per month. Following Panama shift schedule. Immediate management/Engineer Manager is fantastic, can't do enough for you. Left to manage yourselves for the most part a lot of autonomy!

      Cons

      Way too political in some aspects (who you know, not what you know), tool requisitions take months so if you need new kit it takes a while. Treated the same as 0 hour staff that don't care, no trust or respect towards job role. Not saying there should be special treatment but there should be a level of trust when going about your working day, have to go through the same security can't use access doors that would make life a lot easier (Why would an engineer throw away a good paying job for lipstick - no trust). No upward movement, people set in their positions now.
