- Lead, facilitate and/or contribute to collaborative modelling projects with internal and external stakeholders.
- Produce written and verbal descriptions of modelling analyses, including appropriate interpretation of the results, assumptions and limitations.
- Contribute to team development and supervise staff as required.
