You also prevent, identify and solve problems concerning processes, procedures, work instructions and systems. Further, you are expected to propose internal and customer-facing improvements whenever possible.

The role can be based at one of our sites or at your home. We have sites at Wrexham, Brierley Hill, Bury St Edmunds, Braintree and Lympne. You are free to work with a high degree of autonomy, visiting our sites only as necessary. You report to the Commercial Manager in the Netherlands.
