In terms of skill requirements, you will benefit from having gained experience in a ‘lean culture’ manufacturing environment, which will have brought you broad knowledge of equipment types. 

You’ll need strong team working skills, communication skills and a good attitude, while an ability to manage tight deadlines and work under pressure is crucial.  Awareness of relevant technologies and modern improvement tools and techniques is desirable.
