Things to consider
Although this role is based at the yard in Chelmorton we work on customers’ sites, please consider how you will get to the yard each day to start your working day as it is in a rural location. There is some lifting and carrying involved with this role, it is manual and it’s likely you’ll be working outside in all sorts of weather.
