• A proactive, problem-solving approach with excellent communication and organisational skills.
• A willingness to travel extensively throughout the UK to support customers and project delivery.

The Package:

• £36,000-£40,000 per annum, depending on experience and competence.
• Annual Bonus Scheme - Earn up to 15% of your annual salary as a performance-related bonus, based on both personal and company objectives.
• 39 hours per week, Monday to Thursday 8:00am-5:00pm and Friday 8:00am-4:00pm, with a one-hour lunch break with flexibility.
