The Client
My client is part of a global business that provides turnkey process engineering equipment for distillery and brewery projects.

Their Scottish operation, based just outside Edinburgh, fabricates equipment and vessels for distillery/brewery projects. The site has been expanding rapidly over the past twelve months and has the capacity to double its headcount in the next few years.

8. Acting as the point of contact on a project for external customers who require updates on order progress.
