If you happen to have Goodyear production specialist Nathalie Léger as a neighbour, you might want to be careful where you park your car. Nathalie slashes tires for a living. OK, so she inspects tires and cuts into the rejects. It's serious business. Nathalie has to be confident company tire specifications are being met, along with production quotas, of course.
The rubber industry is very competitive. Production processes are constantly being refined. Keeping a grip on the industry is a team effort that often requires standing up for what you believe is the right approach. Nathalie thrives on contributing to the cause. Did you know? An average automobile today uses nearly 60 kg of rubber. Nathalie has to be very knowledgeable about different stages of the production process in order to understand where, how and why a defect has occurred. She has to have an analytical mind in order to come up with possible solutions. Excellent communication skills are needed in order to share this information with other team members. back
