  • Proven project management skills, with the ability to coordinate engineers, suppliers, and integrators.
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving abilities.
  • A proactive and adaptable mindset, comfortable working on bespoke and challenging projects.

Why This Role Is Exciting:

  • Lead projects involving bespoke robotic cells and advanced automation systems.
  • Work in a dynamic environment where no two installations are the same.
