What this role is
Entry-level individual contributor supporting market development and customer relationship activities for energy or mining products within a region. At the Entry-Level Professional (P1) level, the role owns own tasks within a defined component, routine problems with known solutions, and drives own deliverables. None — building the craft.

- Typical experience
