About you

You are motivated by making a positive contribution to project outcomes, client relationships and the continued development of the Human Factors team. You enjoy working collaboratively, building trusted partnerships and sharing your expertise to help clients and colleagues succeed.

You are likely to bring:

• Excellent communication, report-writing and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate complex concepts clearly and effectively.
• The ability to build trusted relationships and collaborate effectively with clients, multidisciplinary teams and key stakeholders.
• Experience in areas such as Human Factors assessment, regulatory environments, Training Needs Analysis, or the application of Human Factors within major hazard industries.
• Additional strengths in areas such as project management, CAD/visualisation, public speaking, published work, or membership/fellowship of a recognised professional body.
