Hi Darryl As Managing Director of a H&S Consultancy company employing 2 full time H&S Consultants with associate consultants available when required I would expect to see the following; - ability to understand all areas of industry i.e. sectors such as construction, manufacturing, logistics. - computer literate with ability to produce documents neatly and easy to follow. - well presented appearance looking professional and not like they are the labourers doing the work. - self motivated able to manage their diaries to ensure each client is catered for. - willing to travel and stay away from home overnight from time to time. - be themselves and show good interpersonal skills. - able to stand and hold a meeting by chairing the meeting. - give training sessions. - ability to talk to everyone in the clients business from top to bottom with the same respect. - most importantly LISTEN to what they are being told and don't self diagnose until they understand the problem. - if they don't have the answer to a problem at the time make sure the client is aware that they will find out the answer and go back to them with it. I hope this brief summary helps.
