  8. Contribute to efforts aimed at improving products or processes, supporting cost-saving and efficiency initiatives wherever possible.
Key Skills, Knowledge and Experience
  1. Experience in CAD software – you do not need to be a designer, it's more about understanding technical drawings.

  5. Problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
  6. Adaptable, flexible, and able to work across teams.
