• Adherence to all SHEQ and company standards
• Care for company property, tools and test equipment
• Willingness to travel to sites across the region and attend off‑the‑job training phases
• A full driving licence, or actively working towards one, is an advantage

Entry requirements (SOLAS): minimum age 16, and either Grade D/"Achieved" in five Junior Cycle subjects (or equivalen223), an approved pre‑apprenticeship course, or three years' relevant work experience over the age of 16 with a SOLAS assessment interview. A pass in the Ishihara Colour Vision Test (without corrective lenses) is a mandatory entry requirement for this trade.
