• Finding ways to make the place more reliable without being asked every five minutes.

What you ll need:

The package:

• Excellent healthcare.

• More holiday than you ll probably take.

• Real career progression, not just the promise of it.

If you re mechanically biased but electrically capable, you ll fit right in. And if you re electrically biased but mechanically capable, you ll also fit right in. Basically, if you can do both, they want to hear from you.
