• Collaboration and Improvement: Work with suppliers and peers to continuously improve delivery and support core delivery objectives.

• Technical Knowledge: Strong knowledge of IT technologies including Windows Platforms, Linux, server management, cloud platforms (VMWare), Citrix, Networking (Cisco), and enterprise management technologies.
• Problem Solving: Ability to develop and implement innovative solutions and apply subject matter knowledge to resolve issues.
• Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, capable of explaining technical concepts to multiple stakeholders.
• Team Collaboration: Ability to work within a team and collaborate with internal and external stakeholders.
• Security Clearance: Must hold, or be willing to obtain, SC clearance as a minimum.
