You will work a shift system of days/nights on alternate weeks to enable emergency and out of hours cover and you will be provided with suitable free on-site accommodation.
You will need a maintenance background and be able to work without direct supervision but also as part of a team, with a good understanding of commonly used IT systems (e.g. Microsoft Word).
