    Previous experience delivering MEICA or MCC-related projects in the water or utilities sector.

  * 

    Strong electrical engineering knowledge, particularly around MCCs, LV systems, instrumentation, and process control.

    Experience managing small to medium capital works with multiple stakeholders.

  * 

    Ability to interpret technical drawings, P&IDs, and wiring schematics.
