  • 0-3 years of relevant engineering or technical experience — recent graduates encouraged to apply.
  • Solid understanding of manufacturing processes, mechanical components, and their real-world application.
  • Able to read engineering drawings and perform basic mechanical calculations (tolerances, fits, load/life).
  • Proficient in 3D CAD software and Microsoft Office suite (Excel, Access, Word, PowerPoint).
  • Familiarity with CRM software; VBA/VB skills are a plus.
  • Strong communicator — written and verbal — with the ability to translate technical complexity into clear guidance.
  • Self-motivated, accountable, and comfortable working across both engineering and commercial teams.
