• Previous experience with equipment procurement and installation.
• Project management skills in infrastructure or facility projects.
• An open mind and curiosity towards novel ideas and methods within device packaging.
• The ability to actively communicate with people from different organizational entities.
• Fluency in oral and written English, working knowledge of Danish is an advantage

Initially, there is no direct personnel leadership involved in this position (we expect however significant growth in this area).

What we offer in return:
