Responsibilities

• Define Project Scope and Objectives – Work alongside our Sales and Process team to establish clear goals and design requirements for a particular project.
• Gather Basic Design Data – We need basic design data, process, and performance parameters. This may be from review of client documentation or meetings with the client, be that face to face or via MS Teams, or handed over from our Sales team.
