Overview
My role involves relaying information between external suppliers and internal reviewers, ensuring all stakeholders are aligned to deliver fully validated products. Working on legacy engines if a change is implemented and also current projects. Updating all documents and databases to maintain consistency within the company.

Learnt how to communicate professionally and effectively to a wide range of people of different background with various levels of engineering knowledge. Improved confidence in my ability to complete tasks to a high standard. Enhanced attention to detail when cross-referencing multiple documents.
