• Individuals need a basic understanding of insurance (unlikely to have this so training is required) sound engineering knowledge over a good spectrum with expert knowledge in at least one discipline AND business savvy at a senior level.  (it is important that individuals can work alone early so they need an industry comfort zone; I would be a bit concerned about a generalist that had never done any real engineering but can present well.)
