You keep a sharp eye on the planning, coordinate daily activities, and ensure that the right priorities are set. In doing so, you never lose sight of quality and efficiency. You are an important connecting link between the workshop, Sales, and Aftersales, and you ensure that everyone is well informed about the progress and any potential bottlenecks.
