* Plumbing and Water Systems: Fit water pumps, sinks, and waste systems. Install and test plumbing for kitchen and wash areas.
* Windows, Roofs, and Accessories: Fit windows, roof vents, skylights, awnings, and other accessories. Seal and waterproof installations to ensure durability.
* Finishing and Detailing: Apply trims, sealants, and finishing touches to ensure a professional appearance. Perform paint touch-ups or aesthetic detailing as required.
* Testing and Quality Control: Inspect and test all systems and installations before handover. Complete quality assurance checks to company standards.
* Maintenance and Repairs: Carry out servicing, repairs, and upgrades on existing campervans. Diagnose and resolve electrical or plumbing faults.
* Health & Safety: Adhere to workshop safety procedures and use personal protective equipment (PPE). Maintain awareness of relevant safety legislation and best practices.
* Customer Interaction: Occasionally liaise with customers to discuss specifications, progress, or post-build support. Represent the company professionally at all times.
