• Reading and interpreting engineering drawings
• Learning to program CMMs using industry‑leading software
• Creating clear inspection reports and presenting measurement results
• Supporting customers with technical and software queries (remote and onsite)
• Assisting with demonstrations and eventually delivering customer training
• Carrying out onsite measurement and inspection activities
• Working with portable measuring equipment and scanning technologies
• Building strong relationships with customers and internal teams
• Managing your workload effectively while working independently
