- Provide hands‑on support for complex and delicate hardware interventions.
- Minimise downtime and secure production and integration progress, particularly during unsupported night shifts.
- Assess the technical complexity of issues and determine the appropriate escalation or solution path.
- Work closely with the QRT 2-shift team and other technical departments during complex issues and escalations.
- Coach and guide execution engineers to strengthen their troubleshooting and problem-solving capabilities.
- Share technical knowledge and hands‑on experience with colleagues.
- Contribute to continuous improvement, including knowledge-transfer training, process adherence and thorough aftercare.
- Identify opportunities to improve execution and reduce cycle time.
- Continuously develop your technical knowledge and hands‑on skills by working with other technical organisations.
