• Prepare operation and maintenance manuals for customers upon project completion.
• Maintain clear and effective communication with customers and internal teams throughout each project.

• Comfortable working in a customer-facing role and building relationships with stakeholders at all levels.
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with excellent attention to detail.
• Clear and effective written and verbal communication skills.
• Self-motivated and organised, with the ability to work independently, prioritise tasks and manage competing deadlines.
• Flexible approach to working hours, with occasional early starts and late finishes required to accommodate customer site meetings and surveys. Additional hours are recorded and taken as time off in lieu (TOIL), rather than paid overtime.
• Ability to work primarily from the Winchester office, five days per week, with occasional flexibility for home working when required.
