You bring structure and organisation to everything you do, and you command respect through your actions, your knowledge and your integrity. You are a mentor at heart. You understand that your team's success is your success, and you invest in developing the people around you. You are collaborative, open and approachable - the kind of Engineering Manager that people are glad to work for. You will live and breathe this role. You'll be proud to carry the BioMar name and represent everything the business stands for in terms of quality, sustainability and high performance.
