    • Strong problem-solving and conflict resolution abilities
    • Proficiency in Agile tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence)
    • Ability to manage multiple workstreams concurrently
  • Personal Attributes:
    • Proactive, energetic, and organised
    • Quick learner, adaptable, and not defensive when mistakes occur.
    • Comfortable working in a hybrid Agile/Waterfall environment
    • Technical background or engineering experience is highly advantageous.

What you'll get in return

  • 12-month initial contract (with the idea of extension throughout 2027 and beyond)
