• Having a CIBSE / IET / IMechE Engineering Council accredited honours degree, or an HNC in an applicable discipline with commitment to continue with higher education.
• To have achieved or be working towards IEng or CEng status.
• Able to inspire confidence both internally and externally, and then use this to strengthen client relationships.
