The successful candidates will have excellent capacity for self-directed learning / working, and require minimal supervision.

The successful candidates need to be detail-oriented, exercise initiative, good judgment and have the ability to multi-task and produce high-quality, accurate work while meeting deadlines and requirements in a fast-paced environment.
