You thrive in a collaborative environment, working closely with project managers, engineers, suppliers, and service teams.


With your entrepreneurial mindset, you take initiative, work independently when needed, and are not afraid to bring innovative ideas to the table. You are customer-focused, both internally and externally, and enjoy being part of a team that builds solutions with real impact.
