You’re someone who:

• Enjoys connecting with people and building warm, trusted relationships
• Approaches challenges with curiosity, empathy, and problem‑solving mindset
• Is motivated to learn and grow your technical and commercial expertise
• Works confidently both independently and as part of a supportive team
