• Communicate proactively with other team members to troubleshoot problems and create solutions.
• Create and maintain technical and test documentation.
• Work with our Business Development team to carry out unit/location surveys for potential new projects and installs.
• Ensure tools, materials, and work areas are kept organised and safe.
• Follow health & safety procedures and contribute to a safe working environment.
• Report faults, hazards, and incidents to the supervisor/manager.
• Support other site operations as required.

Personal Qualities and Experience

• Self-motivated, reliable, and hands-on with a positive, proactive approach.
• Strong communication, organisational, and problem-solving skills.
• Effective under pressure with the ability to multitask and prioritise work.
• Flexible and adaptable, with meticulous attention to detail when required.
• Team player with strong written and verbal communication skills, including documentation/specification writing.
• Safety-conscious, responsible, and punctual.
• Physically fit and able to carry out manual tasks.
