* Maintain clear communication with both internal teams and customers throughout the project lifecycle.
Requirements
* Ideally 2+ years' experience within an engineering environment, although engineering graduates with strong motivation to learn will also be considered.
* Comfortable communicating with customers, suppliers, and engineers via phone, email, and in person.
* Strong Microsoft Office skills (Word, Excel, Outlook).
