Knowledge of DIN 6701 and European chemical-substance requirements, including REACH and SCIP, would be advantageous. An EAS European Adhesive Specialist qualification would also be beneficial.
If you are looking to develop your engineering career in a specialist area, contribute to technically challenging railway projects and learn from experienced colleagues within a global organisation, this could be a fantastic next step.
