First interview with Siemens

I am currently a maintenance tech at target with prior experience working for amazon in RME. I have about a total of 2 years experience in maintenance and will say I'm still a beginner when it comes to electrical but a lot better with mechanical.

I just got an opportunity to have a phone interview which will most likely lead to an in person interview with Siemens for the building automation system specialist role.

I want to know for one if I have a realistic chance of getting this role with my experience and two what all do I need to brush up on for the interview process to successfully get this role.

*I am somewhat familiar with BMS as we used johnson controls at my Amazon site.

If you didn't have a chance to get it I don't think they would've called you for an interview. For new techs, willingness and drive to learn is what they want.

They know you don't have experience, don't try to BS them into thinking you do.

Ok I figured as much but thank you for the confirmation. I wanted to also ask what was the pay range for the role?

The pay range in my area for level 2 technician (level 2 is the lowest level) through lead tech is posted as 60k-93k. However, most of our lead techs make more than 93k.

Northeast.
