The Job Profile suggests that the job incumbent will be required to operate in a technical, specialist or quality area of the organisation. The job requires a perfectionist who has an innate need to get things right and prefers to deal with things rather than people. Formulas, facts, logic and system are also important aspects of the position. The person fulfilling this function should have the ability to work in a steady, thorough and deliberate manner and have the persistence to see a job through to conclusion. Confrontation and unrealistic timescales should not be an important aspect of the job. Ideally the person should be conventional, co-operative, cautious, compliant, organised, predictable, methodical and routine-orientated. A questioning approach, concentration on detail and a non-assertive nature are also being called for within the position. The Job Profile implies that the job will be somewhat analytical and demand a high level of quality control.
