You will have the following qualifications & experience:

- Expertise in regulated, high-hazard sectors (e.g. defence, nuclear, maritime).
- Proven ability to develop and author technical justifications and substantiation documents.
- Familiarity with SCADA, HVAC, pumps, PAVA, and generator systems.
