Usage Note
Puesto covers a job position (un puesto de trabajo), a market stall (un puesto en el mercado), and a military or police post. It is also the irregular past participle of poner ('to put'), so context matters. The phrase en su puesto can mean both 'in their place' and 'at their post'.
Examples
"Consiguió un buen puesto en la empresa."
Natural Translation
She got a good position at the company.
