Meet Ashely

Can you tell us about your current situation and day-to-day work? 

Every day presents new challenges as an Engineering Project Manager. I work on various projects, designing unique solutions for many products from a wide variety of customers. 

Most of time, the projects are not straightforward, so there is a need for coordination and communication with multiple functions/teams to move projects forward, control the progress and troubleshoot complications. 

I have daily communication with the global teams for some of our biggest customers. I am also constantly working with the local team in Dallas and provide support with designing solutions for new customer products, as well as solving customers’ existing packaging issues. 

What skills do you find as needed to be a good Engineering Project Manager at Nefab? 

Most importantly, I find that good communicative skills are a must. The job requires you to interact a lot with people in various departments and from different parts of the world. I interact both with colleagues and external parties, like customers and suppliers. 

Obviously, you need to have project management skills, such as ability facilitate meetings, trainings and coordinate various tasks at the same time. Also, you need to be strong technically and have a great understanding for different materials, test standards, and many more. 

As with all positions in the company, you have to believe in the products we offer, enjoy the company’s culture and share the its values.
