Follow up on engineering drawing release and technical queries
Arrange and coordinate customer visits, site visits, and internal meetings
Attend project meetings (internal and external), take actions, and drive follow-up
Support customer communication, including joining calls or meetings where required
Travel to site when needed, including ad-hoc support such as delivering parts or assisting with on-site issues

About You:

Experience working in an engineering, manufacturing, production, or project environment
Strong organisational skills with the ability to juggle multiple tasks and priorities
Confident communicator, able to interact with suppliers, customers, and internal teams
Proactive, can-do attitude with a strong desire to make things happen
Willingness to be hands-on and flexible in approach
Exposure to project coordination, project support, or junior project engineering roles
Understanding of manufacturing processes, bills of materials, drawings, and lead times
