Things to consider

This role will include residential release to complete some elements of your training; therefore applicants must be prepared to live away from home during the residential element at college.

Successful applicants will need to be flexible as the role will be based at one of our sites initially and then rotated across our Market Drayton, Minsterley and Telford sites to gain skills across different areas of the business.
