- Driving and assisting with the distribution or delivery of advertisement material to locations in Central Edinburgh.
- Maintaining the advertisement boards and structures, including assisting the Clean Supervisor with maintaining street furniture.
- Assisting with the clearing down of the advertisement boards and project disassembly.
