- Financially astute with an eye for accuracy and detail
- Strong communicator – you know how to keep things clear and concise
- Comfortable working to deadlines and delivering under pressure
- Experience with routine and non-routine works (planned, emergency, and capital schemes) is a plus, but not essential
