• Assisting and supporting the Technical Support and Projects Departments as required on equipment maintenance/repair and installations.

You will ensure that all Health and Safety requirements are adhered to at all times and that associated company documentation is completed in an accurate and timely manner in what is often an unpredictable and fast-paced niche industry sector.
