Working Conditions:

This is a field-based role, and it’s essential that all drivers have held a full driving license for at least 2 years. (Eligibility will be subject to a full DVLA license check)

You’ll also ensure that all work is documented accurately and in a timely manner.

* Direct experience (around 3 years) in a related engineering function (e.g., car mechanic, HGV fitter, Agricultural Engineer, former REME) or
* A formal apprenticeship qualification that includes at least C&G level 1. Training in health & safety is desirable but not essential, as further training will be provided.
