(You don’t need to be a CAE or CAD engineer, but you do need to “speak engineering”.)
• Comfortable working within budget and time constraints, planning resources and collaborating with different stakeholders.
• Problem‑solving attitude, you don’t freeze when something goes wrong, you investigate, analyse, and propose solutions.
• Competence with Excel and control sheets to ensure visibility and traceability.
