  • Working within a service engineering team supporting pharmaceutical manufacturers across Japan with the main concentration of customers being in the Kantō and Chūbu regions.
  • Attending a low number of customer calls as each case can be extremely complicated and time consuming.
  • On rare occasions operating as part of an installation team to complete new equipment installations, commissioning and user training.
  • Working to preventative maintenance and installation work which is often booked 2-3 months in advance, whilst also reacting to more pressing breakdowns and repairs.
