  • Practical experience of using Human Factors methods for workload management, fatigue, staffing levels, organizational change, and critical communications.
  • Experience of working in multidisciplinary teams, assessing the importance of Human Factors issues alongside other stakeholders' concerns.

A full driving license is required, unless a case for reasonable adjustments can be made under the Equality Act 2010.

Qualifications

A degree in Ergonomics or Human Factors, or a degree in an engineering subject or psychology with a relevant post-graduate qualification in Ergonomics, Human Factors, or Organizational Psychology.
