• The ability to write clear and concise engineering documentation, (including reports and investigation logs), and have good verbal communication, negotiation, and influencing skills.
• Pro-active, motivated and tenacious in resolving issues and generating solutions to problems whilst under time pressure.
• Great team player, able to work well in a multifunctional and multi-skilled team environment, supporting knowledge transfer to/from colleagues.
