- Previous experience working for a fire protection or services contractor (advantageous but not essential)
- OR experience as a Leading Hand, LBP, or Supervisor on commercial projects
- Proven experience coordinating subcontractors or large site teams
- A collaborative leadership style, confident delegating without being authoritarian
