You'll also lead and develop a small team of like-minded individuals who'll benefit from your plant knowledge. That's something to get your teeth into and something you could look back on with real pride. On top of that, it pays well, the hours are pretty social and, while weekend working goes with territory, you ll have every other weekend off. The Company A household name in the sector, they've been doing what they've been doing for a long time but are always open to new ideas and always looking for ways to grow and improve. They're well known and very well respected, financially rock-solid and looking to the future with plenty of optimism.
