- Strong practical engineering mindset – hands-on, logical, and problem-solving focused
- Comfortable working in active construction and industrial environments
- Willing to travel across the UK weekly and stay away when required
- Strong communication skills and ability to work within site/project teams
- Keen to learn, develop, and build a career in project delivery
- Interest in mechanical systems, installation, and real-world engineering work
