Is Catlin right for you?

Whatever your skills and experience, Catlin will help you build on what you’ve already achieved.

In order for this to work, we must all base our actions on the same core principles.  So in thinking about whether Catlin would be a good fit for you, consider these questions:

• Am I committed to Transparency through communication and the free exchange of information?

• Do I practice Integrity, behaving with the highest ethical standards?
• Do I respect the Dignity of all people, treating others as I would wish to be treated?

If the answers are yes, Catlin could be the right place for you to work.

Catlin looks for people who share the company’s core values.  But of course we also want them to have the core skills that will ensure individual success.  Here are the essential qualities that we believe Catlin people should have:

Adaptability / flexibility

The ability to work effectively in different situations, change course as needed, and remain calm under pressure.

Planning and organising

The ability to organize time effectively, prioritize appropriately, prepare ahead of time, and set realistic timescales.

Communication, influencing and negotiation

 The ability to communicate clearly and accurately, gain support for ideas, influence outcomes, and motivate others to advance the Company’s objectives.
