• Preparing regular project summary reports

• Encouraging growth within the group and increasing the general knowledge base throughout the company

• Developing and sustaining long-lasting business relationships with clients

• Identifying and mitigating potential hazards in the field or onsite, promoting a safe working environment.

The good stuff you get:

• Full time permanentsalaried position
