The Ideal Candidate:

  • A hands-on, technical, or industrial background (construction, manufacturing, labouring, engineering, or similar)

  • Experience working on-site or in industrial environments with a strong understanding of health & safety

  • CSCS card preferred (or willingness to obtain one)

  • Comfortable using machinery, tools, and power tools

  • Practical problem-solver with good attention to detail

  • Able to communicate clearly and work well as part of a team
