I would recommend working at Macfarlane Generators Brendale, could be rated 5 stars if we worked at a larger and newer location.
The good thingsCurrently in Brendale there is a great team and we all work well together. People in key roles provide an efficient yet stress free working environment.
The challengesThe workshop/ building is too small for the amount of work coming through. The driveway is overcrowded during peak times. There is time wasted moving equipment and products around to access other areas within the warehouse and workshop.
