Cambios que he hecho, por si quieres revisarlos:

• El punto de “supplies and spare equipment” estaba en Knowledge and experience y realmente es una responsabilidad, así que lo he movido.
• Electrónica, Office e inglés estaban mezclados con las competencias; ahora van en Requirements.
• He eliminado el apartado vacío de Administration / Management.
• Los dos últimos puntos de Requirements (cualificaciones y disponibilidad) los he deducido del texto original; quítalos si no aplican.
