Section Manager Maintenance Program, SMRA

Your Role The future presents many exciting challenges, both in development projects for future products and for existing programs.

There, you will belong to one of the functional branches and be part of the management team at the functional level alongside other section heads. As a leader in our organization, you are expected to have a responsive and coaching leadership style, where your primary task is to provide your employees and projects with the conditions necessary for success in their assignments.
