Okay, we’ve waffled long enough. So let’s get to the good bit: You.

As an Engineering Change Coordinator, your role sits within the Continuous Improvement team.

You thrive at resolving intricate problems that are constrained by multiple factors, breaking them down into logical steps that form a clear path.
