This is a fast-paced, hands-on role where your work directly contributes to real-world builds used on major productions.
This role is office based, with travel to site locations on occasions. Training and progression are available to the right candidate.

* Strong attention to detail and accuracy
* Ability to problem-solve in a fast-paced environment
* Good communication and teamwork skills

* Right to work in the UK
