- Technically confident, ideally with prior hands‑on engineering experience, and well‑versed in end‑to‑end delivery across both waterfall and agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban).

- Highly organised, detail‑driven leader with strong decision‑making, problem‑solving skills, resilience under pressure and experience managing teams in line or matrix structures.
