  • Desire to develop, build, and grow the Systems Design team and the people within it as the project develops.
  • Passion and persistence to get a job done and done well.
  • Excellent communication skills are essential for effectively interacting with individuals at all levels of the project and conveying technical information in a clear and understandable way.
  • Consistent ability to deliver required output within agreed timescales.
  • Skill in cultivating strong relationships with colleagues, external departments and customers.
  • Experience with Systems engineering tools like DOORS/DOORS NG/Rhapsody desirable.
