This is a mobile role covering sites throughout North, South, East and West London. Applicants must be based within the M25 and comfortable travelling across London as part of their working day.

The successful candidate must also be able to attend an interview at the company's office in Leighton Buzzard and travel to the office for initial training when they start.
