  • High level of physical fitness and good health
  • Ability to work at height and in adverse weather conditions
  • Excellent understanding of health and safety
  • Previous accreditation as AT/AE under WTSR

  • Troubleshooting and repairing mechanical, electrical and hydraulic systems
  • Ensuring compliance with safety rules and regulations, including WTSR and CDM
