• The ability to pick up new software quickly and a ‘can-do’ attitude to approaching new tasks.
• Some experience of coding is desirable, but not essential.
• Research skills (able to find, evaluate, analyse, and interpret information around a wide variety of topics, such as “Future Ports”, “Calculation of Embodied Carbon” etc).
• Have an understanding of social media and work with our marketing team to connect our content with the desired audience.

• Being personable and a good communicator will be important.
• Happy to take on some project administrative tasks.
• An interest in the built environment, sustainability, social value, ESG, user experience (UX) and market creation.
