• Obtaining and maintaining a working knowledge of our migration / transformation tooling and using it in the delivery of projects (training provided)
• Taking overall responsibility for successful delivery and use of resources, and taking corrective action where necessary
• Driving best practice within the team, identifying and executing efficiencies, and showing leadership on either side of delivery
