- Assign project work and provide technical guidance to staff working on small projects.
- May have direct reports and authority for performance evaluations impacting pay.
Skills and Competencies
- Strong ability to inform and persuade on complex matters through the preparation and delivery of proposals, presentations, and reports.
- Collaboration with stakeholders and management.
- Strong understanding of systems, processes, and tools related to the field.
- Able to assist others and troubleshoot issues.
Qualifications
- University Degree, or equivalent, in a related field or equivalent trade qualification combined with further relevant training and experience.
- Experience varies based on education background. Those with a degree typically have 7+ years of relevant experience, while those with trade qualifications will typically have 12+ years of relevant experience.
