• Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills, with the initiative to work independently and with limited direction.
• Experience implementing process improvements and new technology solutions.
• Advanced computer skills and demonstrated proficiency across Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, email and Outlook calendar applications.
• The ability to develop collaborative working relationships with people across different roles and levels of an organisation.
• The ability to handle sensitive information with integrity and confidentiality.
• A current Australian Driver’s Licence and eligibility to hold an Aviation Security Identification Card (ASIC).
