- Understanding of QA/QC and change management for engineered-to-order equipment.
- Strong organization and communication skills, and proficiency in Excel and scheduling or cost-tracking tools.
Nice to Have
- Degree or diploma in electrical engineering, engineering technology, or project management; PMP or similar.
