- A good understanding of construction processes and mechanical systems (academic, vocational, or work-based).
- Confidence with spreadsheets and basic estimating software.
- Strong organisational skills with a keen eye for detail.
- Willingness to learn, take on feedback, and work collaboratively.
- Clear communication skills and a proactive approach.
What’s In It For You?
