- Comfortable asking questions, and comfortable having the courage to speak up if you see something unsafe, even if it feels uncomfortable. That's not a nice-to-have in SHEQ, it's the actual job.
- Good attention to detail. This role involves real paperwork, and it has to be right, not just done.
- Happy being out on real construction and engineering sites, in all weathers, not stuck behind a desk.
