• Engage with both internal and external stakeholders to ensure successful project implementation in line with requirements and expectation.

• Provide feedback from customers to other teams to facilitate continuous improvement and innovation across the business.

• Engage with the Sales & Marketing team to help promote the DRAMS product and service offering to prospective clients.

• Travel as required (50%) to our customer sites throughout Scotland, Ireland and internationally as required to fully meet the requirements of the role.

• Training and onboarding new team members as required.
