A naturally outgoing person, comfortable interacting directly with clients.
Unafraid of proactively seeking additional work opportunities for your team.
Comfortable using computer software (e.g.

Keen to use your excellent diagnostic and fault-finding skills to resolve customer problems.
Have exposure to condition monitoring and reporting.

You don't want just a job, but a career step where you are expected to think for yourself and make decisions.
You want to be given the opportunity to not only grow your leadership skills and be fairly rewarded for your talent, but also to grow the skills of your team, in order to create a group of high-performance professionals like yourself.
You are definitely someone who relishes being trusted to do what you do best – work smart, work safe, find solutions, and own what you do.
About Us
