• Strong communication and customer-facing skills
• Good computer literacy
• A practical, hands-on approach
• A willingness to learn specialist installation skills
• Exceptional flexibility regarding working hours and locations
• Comfortable staying away from home Monday to Friday every week

• £30,000 basic salary
• Weekday overtime paid at 1.25 times the standard rate
• Saturday overtime paid at 1.5 times the standard rate
• Sunday overtime paid at 1.75 times the standard rate

• Hotel accommodation provided when working away, normally in a Premier Inn or Holiday Inn
• £39.90 daily working-away allowance, with no receipts required

This opportunity is best suited to someone who values variety, is comfortable with extensive travel and wants the opportunity to increase their earnings through regular overtime.
