Maintain a strong customer mindset, ensuring proposed solutions balance customer needs, operational feasibility, and commercial outcomes.

Problem solving

Identify and resolve design or costing challenges, offering practical solutions while maintaining attention to detail.

Cross-functional collaboration

Collaborate with sales, operations, and factory teams to ensure smooth handovers and high levels of internal and external satisfaction.
