    • Supporting safe and efficient operations by following health and safety procedures and adapting to changing project and field team requirements.

    To be a successful Workshop Technician, you should be able to demonstrate:

    • Strong practical skills, attention to detail and effective problem-solving abilities.
    • An interest in water quality instrumentation, with the ability to follow calibration procedures accurately.
    • Good communication and teamwork skills, with a proactive, adaptable approach to meeting deadlines.
