    Challenging Dynamics
    The good thingsProvides a good environment for an individual to experience and develop across various functions.
    The challengesDynamic markets and low-profit margins often mean a lack of resources for projects. High uncertainty in the markets results in indecisiveness of management, leading to stressful timelines and inefficiency in time and resource utilization

    Singapore3 to 4 years in the role, current employee
    HIghly Demanding. Not only have to meet KPI but must match or beat competition based on Market Index ie. PVInsight and Bloomberg.
    The good thingsWorking in a growing company give us visibility and involvement in management strategy and roadmap. Having access to this, allow us to have macro and micro perspective of the business. REC has one of the better reputation in the solar industry and this help in developing and negotiating with suppliers.
    The challengesSolar Industry is very competitive as we are constantly under cost pressure from competition from lower cost countries. To stay ahead of the game, technically we need to be more advance and at the same time, retain very competitive price.
