  • Contributing to ongoing system development, improvement and optimisation.

This role offers hands-on experience in delivering a live digital transformation project, with the opportunity to develop practical skills in process improvement, systems implementation and operational efficiency within a growing engineering company.

The successful candidate will lead this project, in a supportive partnership with North West Regional College (NWRC) as part of the InterTradeIreland’s Innovation Boost Programme.
