• Coordinating engineering handovers for complex projects to ensure production teams have all required information.
• Completing staging documentation and supporting seamless transitions from engineering through to manufacturing.
• Contributing to continuous improvement initiatives that enhance engineering accuracy, production efficiency and manufacturing outcomes.

About you:
