QUESTION 29 OF 31

What do you believe is an individual's role when working with a team?

Manufacturing Engineers typically work on projects with people in different roles and with different priorities. These members may include the plant manager concerned about scheduled down-time, an engineering manager concerned about budgeting and responsible for reporting to corporate, a mechanic who will be responsible for keeping the equipment working on a daily basis, and an outside contractor. Understanding your role within the larger team is critical to ensuring the project moves smoothly. Show the interviewer that you know different team members have different roles and that you are reliable.

"I believe that an individual's role within a team is first and foremost one of accountability. If I do my job well and others can count on me, then I know that I am contributing to the project's success. I am committed to remaining available to contribute in the ways I am needed."

"The role of an individual is to be responsible with his work and do it well first and foremost because all of the team's work corresponds with and depends upon each other's. 2nd priority is to take each other's load upon one another's shoulders and support where necessary. The following are also important: communication, working according to company standards, and creating records and documentation for reference when possible."
