  • You should have experience working with a Common Data Environment, with Viewpoint experience highly desirable. A good understanding of ISO 19650, document workflows, version control and information management is essential.
  • Strong Microsoft Office skills, excellent organisation and communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities are important. You’ll be proactive, reliable and confident working under pressure while maintaining a high standard of accuracy.
