As a minimum we’re all expected to attend the workplace for collaboration and other specific reasons, on average three days per week.

**What you will be doing**:
Reporting to the Group Leader, the Section Leader is responsible for:

**Shifts / Travel**

Although Derby based, the role will require travelling to various sites across the UK for varying durations and will normally consist of working shift patterns, usually based on 12-hour days or nights, dependent on the task. The number of days a year will vary based on workload and training.

Although site work is generally pre-planned, there will be the requirement to support emergent requests to deploy at short notice. Whilst in Derby, flexible working hours are in place from 7:00am to 6:00pm, working a standard 7.4 hours per day. _Shift allowance, travel time and overtime will be paid at an enhanced rate for any site based work as applicable. _

We’re an equal opportunities employer. We’re committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives.

And the more perspectives we have, the more successful we’ll be. By building a culture of respect and appreciation, we give everyone who works here the opportunity to realise their full potential.

Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets, you **must hold a UK nationality **. Any dual nationals will require additional scrutiny and background checks prior to commencing work with RRSL.
