Six Sigma Green/Black Belt or equivalent continuous improvement qualification

BENEFITS:

Company equity plan so all employees share in the success of the company

Salary-sacrifice pension scheme

Private medical, dental and vision insurance (medical history disregarded)

Group life assurance at 4x annual income
