This is a rare opportunity to join a well established and stable site, and perhaps for an existing shift leader to get away from a full 24/7 shift pattern and enjoy the benefits of working "days only". This combines the best of both worlds, providing the time off that shift engineers come to expect while maintaining a regular sleep pattern. With a healthy salary, plus opportunity for further OT through shift cover and call-out, this is a standout role for one of the leading M&E organisations in the UK with a chance for future progression
