The Opportunity

You will work predominantly on client sites across Europe, often for extended periods, and will be expected to deliver installations to a consistently high standard with minimal supervision.

• Troubleshoot and resolve installation issues independently, escalating to the project manager or commissioning engineer where necessary.
• Travel extensively within the EU (Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain and others) for project deployments - typically weeks at a time.
• Maintain a clean and professional working environment on client sites at all times.
• Adhere to all health and safety regulations and site-specific requirements.
