You like to take a lot of initiatives and can lead smaller projects as well. Being a communicative team player who delivers with high quality and can take on any task big or small is something we value. Your positive energy will be an asset in the team and you always share your knowledge with your colleagues. To help one another, contribute to good cooperation and create a good atmosphere in the team is something that is important to you.
