• Creating job packs/RAMS and keeping everything compliant and organised

• Knowledge of Asset Values, IDNOs, RAMS and StreetWorks
• Basic understanding of electrical design in a utilities/ICP setting
• Confidence dealing with customers and suppliers
• Strong organisational and communication skills
