I' am enjoying my time at Simonds and have learned a lot about how the company operates and manages its construction sites. This role has given me a clear understanding of the construction process at Simonds and helped me grasp its details and challenges. My current role requires me to:

• Stay informed about Simonds products and ongoing promotions.
• Collaborate with various departments to track progress on client files as needed.
• Oversee account coordination to verify receipt of payments and promptly follow up with clients when necessary.
