Purpose
The Success of Marlow Industries has historically been supported by the innovative skills of our technical personnel—scientists, engineers and other technologists involved in the development of innovative products and the processes and facilities needed for their manufacture. This procedure is intended to formalize a career ladder for the technical personnel at MI, personnel whose primary job function is technically oriented. The technical career ladder parallels that available to those whose skills are directed to management. This "Technical Ladder" provides equal opportunity for personal recognition, salary, responsibility and ultimately, eligibility to corporate officership to those selected individuals who make continued and outstanding technical contributions to Marlow Industries.
