Candidate-reported interview process
You'll be interviewed by a panel of managers and current workers. They're looking at your past experience, how much you know about the job, and your personality. Make sure to smile and give a firm handshake. Lots of people leave this job, so they'll probably offer you something!
I met them at my school's career fair and handed in my resume. Later, I got a call from an Engineering Manager for a phone interview. The interview was all behavioral and straightforward. So, always prepare answers and questions for them, and know about the company and location you're interviewing for.
I got an email from a recruiter to set up a phone call to talk about my resume. Then I had an interview at a convention (NSBE) with the plant's technical manager, where they mostly asked questions like "tell me a time when...". A week later, I had a phone interview with the Electrical Reliability Manager where they asked in-depth questions about the projects and experiences on my resume. It went well overall.
