• Experience supervising or organising others (formal or informal, we'll consider strong candidates without a job title to show for it, but you'll need to demonstrate the instinct)
• Excellent communication, clear, direct, and honest
• Self-discipline with the ability to keep a team focused on the goal in tough conditions
• Strong attention to detail and a tidy, organised approach
• Integrity you'd be happy to stand behind
