One of the coolest things about my role is the freedom that is given to me when it comes to decision making. I am free to search and evaluate for myself potential partnerships for our organization and the other teams I work with are really open when it comes to brainstorming ideas.
I love that my job still requires an application of electrical engineering theory – in some roles I have definitely had to dust off the old university textbooks and brush up on some concepts. The application of this theory and realising it out in the field is very rewarding.
My role is to support and manage this process for them. It ranges from supplier management, to commercial negotiations, to finalising the contract with our legal team.
