How would your co-workers describe your attention to detail?
It is always best to support your reply with a real-life example. Use two to three descriptive words and then tell a brief story of a time when a coworker noticed or offered praise for a job well done.
"As an engineer, I regularly turn big-picture ideas into the details required to bring them to life. My co-workers would likely describe my attention to detail as error-free and meticulous. For example, one of the quality assurance members of my team recently stated that he loves working with me because my designs and execution are thoughtfully executed and make his job easy."
"My attention to detail is a point that I have been working on a lot this past year. I am meticulous but, in the past, have pushed my documentation back a little bit. It's something I am conscious of and continually working on. However, I am known for my attention to detail in meetings. My teammates have joked in the past that I observe and remember even the tiniest details of our discussions."

My co-workers would describe my attention to detail as very strong. Because I came from the engineering field of study, I have a professional sense to find deviations and errors easily. In the next stage and when attention to detail is required, I can very easily point out discrepancies.
I think big-picture as well but have always had full attention to details when needed.

Strong response! You can make it even stronger by giving an example of a time when you caught an error or mistake and how that positively impacted the project timeline or deliverable.
