You work on substantiating your ideas using PowerPoint and SolidWorks. Depending on the project, you brainstorm independently or with your colleagues. 13:00 After the analysis and brainstorming session, it's time for a break. If you're at AWL, you can take a walk around the Veluwemeer or enjoy a great lunch at our company restaurant. 15:00 You've come up with a fantastic concept, but there's still missing information. You've scheduled a session with your sales and engineering colleagues to discuss specific details regarding cycle times and potential risks. 16:30 The next day, you have a meeting scheduled with the client to present a series of elaborated requests.
