So after applying, they'll shortlist you and it'll take about a month. The interview process has three stages. First, there's a group interview where you and other candidates work on a task and then get asked some questions. After that, you might get called in for an individual HR or technical interview. You'll actually do both. The HR interview is pretty straightforward, but the technical one will cover things like machine operations, troubleshooting pumps, gears, motors, process vessels, and your structural knowledge.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Could you describe the operations of machines and how to troubleshoot them, including specific knowledge about pumps, gears, motors, process vessels, and structural aspects?

How did I come to Ineos? How do I react to stress situations? Am I a team player? How do I resolve conflicts?
