PROJECT ENGINEER/WORK PREPARATOR

As a work preparator you prepare projects in the technical field. You are dealing with about 5 to 6 projects at the same time. You will receive drawings by e-mail, on the basis of which you can determine which materials and labor hours are required, whether work should be outsourced and how transport should be arranged. You enter all this data in Ridder IQ, the ERP system. You carefully check the drawings with a critical eye and you are alert to any errors or ambiguities. Your extensive technical knowledge allows you to determine whether parts can be made as drawn, or whether other operations must be used. If necessary, you can contact a KANON engineer to short-circuit things or have them adjusted. You provide the purchasing department with the correct information regarding the required parts and outsourcing. Based on the information you receive back from the purchasing department, you make a pre-calculation and compare it with the sales price. You then determine whether additional work is required and you discuss this with the project manager. In the meantime you answer many technical questions that come in by email.
