• Experience from a quality background, such as checking processes, identifying faults and working to a high standard of accuracy.

Why join us?

• Our culture - we connect & care about those around us. We nurture teamwork, communities, partnerships and new ways of working, placing the highest importance on the safety and working environment of our people.
• Our 'Road to Sustainability 2030' is our plan to help build a better, sustainable future. We work towards this vision by caring about our social and environmental impacts and developing innovative solutions
