• Full training provided – including equipment use and on-site shadowing.
• Vehicle and fuel card for work-related travel.
• Hotel accommodation and subsistence for overnight stays.
• Competitive salary, commensurate with experience.
• Contributory pension scheme.
• Flexible benefits package (including additional holidays and private healthcare options).
• Ongoing professional development and mentoring — support available towards Chartership via the Geological Society or Institute of Civil Engineers.

What They are Looking For

• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
• 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.
• Willingness to travel throughout the UK.
• Valid UK driving licence (essential).
• CSCS card (advantageous but not essential).
• Previous site, field, or engineering experience preferred.

This role is ideally suited to veterans who have served in a technical, engineering or vehicle based role, who is happy to be away from home on a regular basis, and who has experience in equipment handling and someone who is seeking more than just a job but a long term career.
