Applied technical ability is critical for these roles so we are unable to consider any candidates without the skillsets stated.
In addition to the skillsets identified above, we look for those graduates who are able to listen and communicate well. The success of our business depends on our ability to engage with our clients and get under the skin of their organisations.
