  • They will ensure risks and lessons learnt are managed throughout.
  • They will manage resource within their team to drive delivery and best utilise individual's strengths.
  • They will lead, support and develop individuals within their team.
  • They will drive for continuous improvement within their team and the wider organisation.

The Key Selection Criteria:

  1. An engineering mindset and experience in delivering test facilities for instrumentation and control or process systems.
