Growing specialist company with increasing UK-wide opportunities
Overtime that works around you
There are approximately eight evening jobs per year, with Saturday overtime available when required. There is also one Sunday job which takes place twice a year.
As the company grows, Saturday work is expected to increase, but overtime is shared between the engineering team. If you want to earn more, there are opportunities to do so; if overtime isn't for you, you won't be expected to take on every job.
