A good geographical knowledge of the local area that you will be responsible for. You will be required to work on a weekend on a rotation basis and must also be available to deal with any major problems/issues outside of the usual 9-5 as and when they arise. You will already have previous experience of managing large teams across multiple sites/locations, coaching and interviewing/recruiting people.
