At my plant, you would be pretty much a janitor. Hence all the jokes you read. You will change light bulbs, pick up trash, clean the bathrooms, mow grass and do yard work. But it gives you a great chance to learn your way around the plant and get familiar with things. You are expected to move into operations the first chance you get. It shouldn't take no longer than a year to land in an NLO class with the way people are retiring. You will most likely be in a union so at that point all you have to say is I want that position and it's yours. You won't have to interview for it.
