– Strong communication skills to manage your stakeholders and build effective working relationships.

– A working knowledge of CDM regulations with a keen focus on safety.

– You should have a minimum of an HNC qualification in an electrical or telecommunications-based discipline; alternatively, suitable experience in a similar role may be considered.
