    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

    • My jobs varied day to day as a Sales Engineer in the CBU, everything tended to be different. However, when someone asks what I do, I say that I am the ‘pricing guy.’ It took time to truly understand my purpose here; as every task I would undergo varied from the last, most of which involved supporting audits, reorganisation of systems and tracking engineering changes. I can at least say that I have had my hand in a lot of activities that I hadn’t expected to partake in before I joined the company.
