Ocean offers a dynamic work environment offering hybrid working. We believe work is what you do, not where you go and therefore colleagues deliver their work where it best suits the need, whether that be in the office, home or around a local area or site using local facilities. Colleagues are agile and work or have meetings in any place to suit the need and task. There will be a need for employees to travel to St Austell and work from the head office for meetings, training and general day to day team requirements.

Closing Date: 18th May 2025. We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.
