* Strong leadership qualities
* Experience working with strict Health & Safety standards
* Confident working independently once trained
* Full UK driving licence + right to work in the UK
* Happy to travel and stay away when required
A positive attitude, work ethic and willingness to learn are just as important as technical skills.
What’s on Offer

* £5,000 annual allowances + overtime
* £38,000–£45,000 expected earnings
