What kind of background do You have? I had this interview and they told me that I have interesting experience, bla bla but they are looking for someone with more mechanical exp.


They were asking me about servo motors, what will I do if for example machine will stop, or quality will be not sufficient etc. There were also questions about different parts of processing machines (injection moulding) - what they are, what they do and things like that. Some questions from pneumatic field as well.

I worked there (not in processing though). Let me tell ye that they expect all prospective employees to be all rounders. It's not good enough to be simply a process technician. They're very much in to process technicians multi-tasking. And be prepared for the corporate mumbo jumbo about how "J&J is the finest company in the world", yawn.

Downtime on their process lines is a no no.
Quality has to be maintained at all times.
You'll probably need to have an understanding of finance as well for the role.Their corporate target was to produce 2 billion lenses per year (2010).

Not to put you off but there are easier places to work in.

I failed on the second interview , so better prepare - one of my friends had questions from pneumatics for example (basics_ . I got - as I said servo motors, machine parts, how everything works (explanation).

Good luck !

Is the process technician job the same or different from a general operative, as in do they take on process technicians and general operatives or are the process technicians the general operatives?

its process techs and production techs. usually the production guys are CPL contractors in for 11 months. well it was when i was there neway.

process techs have engineering background production lads don't need it.
