handover to the out of hours service

evening and weekend phone support for contractors and customers when emergency
situations arise. This may also require occasional on-site attendance of emergency
work e.g. major fires, floods etc. acting on our behalf. You may also be required to act
as support to other on-call staff where higher level management input is needed or

delivered works by supervising contractors or in house maintenance staff
