This is a long-term opportunity for someone wanting to move into a highly specialised technical role with ongoing training and career development.

Who This Role Suits

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys investigating problems and finding the true cause—not simply replacing parts.

You'll enjoy this position if you naturally ask questions, enjoy diagnosing complex issues and take pride in producing high-quality work.

If you're looking to move away from physically demanding installation work and into a specialised technical role where your knowledge and experience are valued, we'd love to hear from you.

All applications will be treated with strict confidentiality.
