managing day-to-day activities of multiple process
technicians and interns
- Standardization of practices, development of written forms
and operating procedures, materials qualification techniques
- Direct contact with vendors/customers, establishing and
maintaining relationships
- Regular written and oral progress reports, both for
internal use and for customer support
- Full documentation of procedures developed for the
training of new employees/graduate students
