You will lead research and implementation of new and standard methods, advance the best practice of the company, and mentor Junior staff. You will be leading some of the current initiatives designed to deepen our knowledge in advanced laboratory testing and interpretation, database reporting, Python programming, machine learning, cable landing engineering, etc. You will be given the opportunity to learn from Cathie’s position and experience in the market, exchange views with similarly skilled peers and be part of the senior team in charge of setting the next company challenges.
