• Depending on your level of authorisation, you'll act as SAP or AP across projects and provide the operational competence required for work on HV networks.
• This is a mobile role and projects can be located throughout the UK, so you'll need to be comfortable travelling and staying away when projects require it. A Northern base would be advantageous, but we'd rather find the right person than restrict the search geographically.
