Week 1: Monday - Friday earlies (06:00 - 14:30)
Week 2: Monday - Friday evenings (13:30 - 22:00)
Week 3: Monday - Friday earlies (06:00 - 14:30)
Week 4: Friday 07:00-15:00, Saturday - Sunday 07:00 - 17:30
Week 5: Monday - Friday evenings (13:30 - 22:00)
We can offer you
* 33 days holiday entitlement
* 5% pension contributions
* Life assurance scheme
* Company sick pay
* Employee assistance program
* Retail discounts and Fuel cards
What we would love you to bring to the role:
* L3 Engineering Apprenticeship or equivalent
* Driving license (B/ B1)
* Demonstrable history of working effectively with Diesel engineering technology and associated systems and controls
* Self- starter and a team player, able to coach and help others to get the job done to a high-standard
* A strong communicator with ability to build relationships across the organisation
* A logical, analytical and objective approach to problem solving and fault diagnosis
* High level of professionalism & strong sense of customer satisfaction
