  • Perform regional training sessions and site surveys as assigned.

  • Prepare and submit trip and expense reports promptly.

  • Follow up with customers after visits to ensure ongoing satisfaction and proper equipment use.

  • Occasionally travel to our Montreal, Canada headquarters for training.
