* Hotel accommodation and subsistence for overnight stays.
* Competitive salary, commensurate with experience.

What They are Looking For

* A self-starter who can work both independently and as part of a team.
* Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.
* Commitment to following procedures and maintaining high safety standards.
