You will be responsible for the manual handling of equipment daily, weighing up to 13 kgs, with or without mechanical assistance, following appropriate training.

This position operates on a 24-hour shift basis, covering days, evenings, nights, and public holidays, with some independent work. An 8-week shift pattern is in place, and participation in an On-call Rota for 2 out of the 8 weeks is also required.
