• Working knowledge of statutory compliance and industry standards (CIBSE, Building Regulations, H&S, etc.).
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, schematics, and specifications.
• Excellent problem-solving and diagnostic skills with a practical, hands-on approach.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple sites or projects.
• Confident communicator, able to liaise effectively with clients, contractors, and colleagues.
