Further Info
The majority of the work would be servicing and inspecting Heavy Duty Centrifugal Fans in Energy Recovery Facilities and Stock Pumps in Paper Mills. The work involves both a technical element and physical element and is normally in an industrial setting where adherence to Safe working practices is paramount. The work can sometimes be physically demanding and periodically requires working outdoors and is normally time sensitive. The job often requires working away with overnight stays across most of the UK in the week but rarely at weekends. This equates to typically 6 to 10 nights a month but can vary. Whilst working away there are often longer working hours. We therefore offer very flexible working hours whilst workshop based and pay overtime for additional hours whilst working away as well as allowances for food.
