Participate in audits, support quality investigations and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that drive efficiency and product reliability., • Documentation & Technical Reporting: Produce and maintain technical documentation, assembly guides, test procedures and engineering change notes. Ensure all documentation is complete, accurate, version-controlled and aligned with production best practices., • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work alongside Configuration, Pre-Sales, Engineering and Quality teams to ensure production requirements are understood and integrated early in the design and quotation process. Represent the production function in cross-department reviews and project discussions., • Continuous Learning & Industry Awareness: Stay up to date with emerging technologies, market trends and industry developments. Share relevant insights with the wider team to maintain a collective understanding of evolving customer needs and product advancements., • Team Cover & Shared Responsibility: Provide cover for team members during periods of absence, ensuring continuity of service and demonstrating flexibility and reliability across the wider function.
