• Coordinating procurement and purchasing activities with internal departments, ensuring correct materials and components are ordered.
• Compiling accurate engineering and project data to support timely invoicing.
• Representing the company in client meetings, technical discussions, and occasional out of hours activities following Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs).
• Managing engineering orders to ensure projects remain within budget, on schedule, and delivered to the expected specification and quality levels.
• Ensuring all work is carried out in full compliance with the company\'s Business Management System.

The Person
