  • Visit customers to support sales, launch products, and explore new development opportunities.
  • Provide technical support across sales, marketing, and manufacturing.
  • Coordinate product trials and ensure smooth execution.
  • Represent Prysmian at industry events and standards organizations like UL and CSA.
  • Act as a bridge between manufacturing and product teams to stay ahead of market trends.
  • Share technical updates with sales teams to unlock new business opportunities.
  • Deliver training on new products and applications to internal teams and customers.

What you bring:
  • Strong communication skills—you can explain technical concepts clearly to any audience.
  • Business savvy—you understand how product design impacts profitability.
  • Detail-oriented and organized, with solid project management skills.
  • A team player who thrives in cross-functional environments
  • Energetic, curious, and eager to learn.
  • Analytical mindset with a background in engineering.
  • Comfortable with PC tools and systems.
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (or equivalent).
  • At least 5 years of experience in manufacturing and product development/design.
  • Experience in wire and cable is a plus.
  • Familiarity with Six Sigma problem-solving methods.
  • Willingness to travel (about 10%).
