• Strong communication and customer-facing skills, with the confidence to explain technical concepts, advise customers and represent Hexagon professionally.
• A proactive, self-confident and solution-oriented approach to your work.
• Willingness and flexibility to travel extensively across the region, based on customer and business needs.
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office and Windows environments.
