What is your job?

Eudiracildo de Souza Monteiro: I joined bIC in 1996 as an expert worker, then I was made plastic injection leader in lighters and today I’m production supervisor. a friend introduced me to the company. I really like my job. Unlike other companies, bIC gave me the opportunity to discover a profession, work with a team and grow in my work. and here, we have a safe work environment, following Iso standards. I’m a member of the emergency Crew, which is an important responsibility. I head up accident prevention in diff erent departments. I’m also an in-house auditor for our Iso 9001, Iso 14001 and ohsas 18001 standards.

tell us about Manaus and about your life outside of Bic.

E. S. M: I came here when I  was 18 years old. I like this city and the atmosphere even if the transportation system is still not very reliable. Manaus has changed a lot, especially with the opening of the bridge over the rio Negro, which connects the urban island of Manaus to Iranduba, the continental portion of brazil. before, we used to take a ferry.

Eudiracildo de Souza Monteiro 40 years old, married

I want to be a part of growth in our company.
