What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who is more than just an administrator.

You'll be someone who takes initiative, anticipates what needs to be done and follows tasks through to completion without needing constant direction.

You'll play an important part in supporting the wider Project Team, ensuring documentation is up to date, installation bookings are organised and nothing falls through the cracks.
