Agata’s Role 

Agata joined Peacock Salt five years ago through a modern apprenticeship program as a multiskilled engineer. She now manages our large equipment division working mostly with Salt Saturators and Hilltip products. Agata says one of her strengths is having good hands-on skills in engineering while also having valuable theoretical knowledge behind her.
