• An understanding of project management principles or methodologies

• Confidence to ask questions, seek guidance and draw on peer support to achieve successful outcomes

• The ability to remain effective and professional in a role where challenges may be sustained over time, demonstrating resilience, perspective, and a focus on achieving outcomes
