Additional Information

We need people with inquiring minds who can ask the questions to understand and then shape projects to achieve environmentally beneficial outcomes. The ability to work with people with different perspectives is essential to understand what Clients really need, what the design means and how it matters to stakeholders. So, communication – verbal and written – to interact with others and seek understanding, is important, but we accept that it is a skill that develops over time. We like people with an appetite to learn and develop – taking personal responsibility, but understanding how to confirm that we are getting to a good outcome.
