London, United KingdomFull Time

These qualities were modeled by:

2. Site risk assessments.
3. Planning transport (coaches and public transport) for each team to ensure they reach their day venue.
4. Handling of money, receipts and change for teams that used public transport.
5. Ordering and distributing food orders for groups of 95-100 people.
6. Resource allocation of laptops, cameras and etc per team for the next day.
7. Liaising with the accommodation staff for maintenance requests such as faulty showers
