• 2 x full time 37.5 hours per week - 3 days on site min (5months initially with potential to extend)

• Is naturally organised and able to maintain focus across competing priorities.
• Can influence and engage people at all levels of the organisation.
• Enjoys solving problems and finding practical solutions.
