European Design Applications Engineer

Please think about this list from the point of a fully competent engineer who will be able to adapt over time the basic knowledge they acquire from the Apprenticeship, to be able to work in any business in the RACHP sector, given more experience. Not just from the point of view of the requirements of your own organisation.
