• Liaising with colleagues which may involve resolving technical issues

Are you:

• Able to demonstrate spacial awareness as well as an understanding of how the building components fit together to provide true "buildability"

• Excellent communicator who can liaise effectively with multiple stakeholders

• Flexible regarding hours and committed to playing your part in the team
