What is your job?

Darielma da Mota Barroso: I’ve been working at bIC for more than 14 years. I started out as a machine operator, then moved on to manufacturing assistant and then production leader. there are real opportunities for promotion in the company. In the short term I want to become a process engineer, and my long-term goal is to be part of the plant’s management team.

tell us about Manaus…

D. M. B: like a lot of people, we came here for a better life, and we found it. I was able to study. I’m now an engineer with a degree from the University of the state of amazonas. I earned my degree thanks to bIC, as I could follow the courses while adapting my work schedule. Manaus has changed a lot of things about my life.

How do you organize your time?

D. M. B: I wake up at 5 am. I get to the plant before 7, check in with production, set the schedules and plan a production meeting with my team. then I take care of administrative duties, checking bills, scheduling vacations, etc. It’s a very nice work environment. after work, I go for a run and then take care of my daughters. I’m a member of the company club and I am involved in the community service associations. on saturdays, I  study english and fi nd time for my personal activities. sundays I spend with my family.
