• working safely across a variety of customer and construction environments
• building positive relationships with customers, builders and installers.

You’ll also spend time working directly with customers and site contacts, so being comfortable communicating with different people and working together to resolve issues will be an important part of the role.

Travel is an important part of this role, with opportunities to work on projects across Australia.

Travel requirements will vary depending on project activity, with busier and quieter periods throughout the year. You’ll travel as part of the Mobile Mill team, with the length of each trip depending on the project.
