- A current Class C driver's licence and your own suitable PPE
- The ability to apply civil engineering principles to route assessments: vehicle dimensions and mass, road geometry, turning movements, clearances and infrastructure constraints

- Clear written communication, including detailed assessment notes and professional correspondence
- Strong organisation to prioritise a steady flow of applications and meet assessment timeframes
