  • Advanced 3Shape design capability — this is a MUST.
  • Demonstrated experience designing custom abutments using the split-file method.
  • Solid experience with implant workflows, including scan bodies and Encode systems.
  • Ability to manage cases independently in a high-volume, deadline-driven setting.
  • Detail-oriented, quality-focused, and highly reliable.
  • Strong communication skills and team-oriented mindset.
  • portfolio of pictures or screenshot to share

Preferred Skills (Nice to Have):

  • Coachable and open to feedback.
  • Strong team player with a positive attitude.
  • Able to perform well under pressure.
  • Clear communicator with strong attention to detail.
