• Ability to operate on an operational level (e.g. project support, troubleshooting), tactical level (e.g. activity planning and communication, activity risk management, mid-term financial planning) and strategic level (e.g. high level infrastructure design, security policies, availability management).
• Oral proficiency and written language skills in English.
