  -> I think you are missing the point here! Maybe it is more constructive to come with a good alternative. I can prove you wrong here - so why not try and help the user by coming with a better suggestion!!
agree  Roald Toskedal: Indeed, IF we're talking about a company, I'd go for this one. Or maybe rather 'Leading Contractor', as in 'Market Leader'.

neutral  George Hopkins: Nothing wrong really - but senior fitter and possible junior fitters seem to match well together. 'Leading' might be an option when translating the almost untranslatable 'ansvarig', eg, ansvarig montör.
