Expectations
The Jayco Engineering staff expects that the candidates will be able to complete their tasks in an efficient time frame. A mentor will provide on the job training, but the candidate will be expected to learn on their own as well. It is extremely important that questions are asked and that projects are not completed on assumptions. Therefore, the candidate will be expected to ask for clarification when questions/issues arise or additional information is required.
The candidate should expect the Jayco Engineering staff to provide them with direction on their projects while still offering the opportunity for self-discovery.
