- Strong problem-solving and fault-finding ability
- Ability to analyse defects and troubleshoot practical solutions
- Good communication and interpersonal skills
- Physically capable of lifting equipment, climbing ladders, and working on your feet for extended periods

Hours & Flexibility

- Salary is negotiable for the right candidate based on experience and skillset
