* Support outreach activities, such as writing LinkedIn articles, participating in trade shows, and attending technical events.
Desired Skills & Attributes
* A degree in Biomechanics, Human Movement Science, Ergonomics, Sports Science, or a related discipline.
* Familiarity with biomechanical modelling and/or motion analysis tools.
* Interest in occupational biomechanics, MSD risk assessment, and HSE frameworks.
* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
