You will need to maintain accurate records and have a close eye for detail, identifying potential problems. You will need excellent time management skills to ensure all work is completed efficiently and thoroughly. We are a small company so you will need to be willing to support all aspects of the company workload. The job will require manual handling with heavy lifting as well as customer facing activities, so you must reflect our high standards and hard working ethos throughout.
