• Driving and maintaining company vehicles, reporting any defects
• Cleaning, securing, and caring for all tools and vehicles
• Ensuring all work is carried out efficiently, safely, and to client satisfaction
• Liaising professionally with customers on-site and with internal supervisors
• Identifying opportunities for improvement and additional services

• Enjoys practical, physical work and being outdoors in all weathers

• Ongoing support to build your confidence and skills

What’s in it for you:

• A long-term, secure career path with growth opportunities
• Generous travel and overnight allowances when required
• The chance to learn highly transferable skills in a growing industry
• Be part of a team that supports you every step of the way
