• Attending a low number of customer calls as each case can be extremely complicated and time consuming.
• On rare occasions operating as part of an installation team to complete new equipment installations, commissioning and user training.
• Completing preventative maintenance and installation work which is often booked 2-3 months in advance, whilst also reacting to more pressing breakdowns and repairs.
