- Sales Relationship: Provide quality advice, resolve product issues, and support testing for customer requirements.
- Compliance: Ensure adherence to regulations, company policies, and maintain accreditation standards.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
- Previous laboratory experience, ideally in wood panel testing or a general manufacturing environment.
- Strong computer skills, particularly in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Access.
- Strong numerical reasoning, attention to detail, and ability to adapt to change.
- Effective communication skills and ability to work well within a team.
