In this field-based role, you will provide expert application support for our portable metrology solutions, with a particular focus on Hexagon Laser Trackers and Absolute Arms. Working closely with customers and our sales team, you will play an important role throughout the customer journey – from pre-sales demonstrations and technical discussions to implementation, training and ongoing application support.
