  • Able to work independently as well as part of a collaborative team.
  • Experience maintaining confidential records and handling sensitive information.
  • Minute-taking experience would be advantageous.
  • Previous experience within an engineering, manufacturing or technical environment would be beneficial but is not essential.


Due to the nature of the work, applicants must be eligible to obtain Security Clearance (SC).
