  • Experience working within a highly regulated, safety-critical or controlled engineering environment.
  • Strong communication, organisation and customer-facing skills.
  • Able to work independently, use initiative and deliver high-quality work under pressure.
  • A high standard of written and spoken English.
  • Willingness to travel throughout the UK and occasionally overseas.
