· Modify equipment to adhere to specific customer orders
· Be the face of the company and provide excellent customer service at all times
You’ll also support the installation and commissioning process of our equipment into customers facilities, so there may be a requirement to spend the odd night away from home (with plenty of notice and fully expensed of course).
