• A proactive, solution‑oriented mindset with excellent attention to detail.
• Strong communication skills, able to build rapport with diverse stakeholders.
• Project management skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities.
• A UK driving licence and the willingness to travel to client sites when needed.
