Learn new skills, become a specialist, and grow with the business. * Balanced Work-Life: Enjoy a Monday to Friday role with minimal weekend work, typically only required in rare cases, where you would receive additional compensation. * Travel Opportunities: While this is a Portsmouth based role, there may be occasional UK travel, with no more than one or two nights away per month, and all expenses covered with an attractive overnight allowance. * Flexible Management: A friendly and understanding management team that doesn’t micromanage, supporting your personal commitments, such as family events.
