Shifts / Travel
Although Derby based, the role will entail 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 site deployed is approximately 90 days, although durations 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 with less than 48 hours notice. Whilst in Derby, flexible working hours are in place from 7:00am to 6:00pm, working a standard 7.4 hours per day.
We’re an equal opportunities employer. We’re committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment.
