• Maintain accurate digital job reports, including photographs, materials used and follow-up requirements.
• Communicate effectively with the office, clients and site teams.

• Overtime paid at 1.5× after 42.5 hours per week.
• Company van and fuel card.
• Company mobile phone.
• Additional power tools provided where required.
• Company pension.
• Ongoing training and development opportunities.
