Skills
Relationship/Communication:
As an engineer it was my responsibility to interact with mechanical designers
to produce job packages that encompassed all of the necessary standards and
customer requirements. This had to be performed while making a significant
contribution in the overall team effort. I attended meetings overseas with
customers in which engineering decisions were made. I performed well within
this environment while addressing customer concerns and lobbying for necessary
deviation to customer requirements.
Problem Solving:
As part of an understaffed department, I had to demonstrate an ability to work
swiftly and accurately under pressure of deadlines. I have demonstrated a
technical agility that has been recognized throughout my current organization.
Because of my "out of the box" thinking I am frequently invited to attend
meetings to discuss issues not only related to engineer, but other aspects of
the business such as marketing, expediting, quality and project management. It
is this ability to provide solutions that warranted my promotion to
applications engineering.
