You have:

• Experience of, or a good understanding of, electricity distribution networks, including overhead lines, substations or related infrastructure projects.
• Someone who enjoys solving problems, taking ownership and challenging the status quo to improve safety and performance.
• Strong communication skills, with the confidence to work with everyone from site operatives through to managers and senior leaders.
• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple activities and priorities at the same time.
• Competent IT skills, including Microsoft Word and Excel, with experience recording project information, producing reports and managing snagging or defect lists.
