  • Produce end project reports and lessons learned reports.
  • Demonstrate the ability to thrive within a fast paced, demanding environment whilst maintaining high standards and a customer centric approach.
  • You’ll get involved in our drive towards social progress where possible. Whether that’s getting involved in one of our community projects or simply buying local when travelling with the company.

Key Skills:

  • Great management skills and the ability to understand and motivate people.
  • A detailed knowledge of an industry recognised project management methodology, including Waterfall and Agile principles.
  • A working knowledge of IT to the extent that you are able to collaborate with technical specialists and take ownership of solutions.
