This means u probably spend a lot time in their fab room and sometimes you might need to do overtime or weekend just to get things done as your performance is dependent on them. Fortunately depending on company, they might give you transport claim or allowance (which means extra money and is excluded from CPF). From my experience, I was given transport allowance but there are quite a few times I have work until midnight before I can go home so this job is not for everyone. i hope this helps.
