• The ability to influence and engage cross-functional teams and promote a strong compliance-first approach
• A high level of integrity and a strong focus on safety, reliability and technical assurance

What we can offer you

• Benefit from a sector-leading salary and remuneration package (including 41 days’ annual leave and generous pension schemes).
