• Able to undertake manual handling tasks, including moving and loading heavy equipment, in accordance with safe working practices
• Experience operating counterbalance forklifts, with a recognised operator qualification or willingness to obtain one.

• Full UK driving licence and willingness to drive company vehicles as required
• Good level of computer skills
• Adaptable, proactive self-starter, comfortable with rapid change and continually evolving requirements
• Extremely organised with a meticulous attention to detail. Arranging buildings, spaces, and objects must be second nature to you.
