• Basic proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and general office technology.
• Role-related qualifications and previous experience or knowledge of Health & Safety would be a significant benefit.
• Project Management experience would be advantageous—someone who demonstrates project management skills, including planning, executing, and adjusting based on changing priorities or new information, ensuring projects are completed on time, within scope, and meet expected standards.
• Outstanding communication skills with an enthusiastic, warm, and confident approach—ensuring fast and seamless communication and scheduling for stakeholders to uphold smooth team operations.
