Operate primarily across the M62 corridor, with regular work throughout the North West and Yorkshire.
Carry out occasional nationwide work, which may require overnight stays.
Deliver high-quality customer service as the front-line engineering representative.
Utilise tablet-based systems to complete job information, reporting and compliance documentation.
Attend the depot each morning before travelling to customer sites.
