- Work safely: Follow instructions, company procedures and site rules. Learn safe practices for working at height, handling heavy components and working around powered equipment. Ask for guidance whenever you are unsure.
- Support customer service and job records: Behave professionally at customer premises, assist with job sheets and photographs, and report progress or problems to the supervising engineer.
- A genuine interest in learning a hands\-on engineering trade.
- A reliable and punctual approach, with a willingness to get involved in practical work.
- The ability to listen carefully, follow instructions and take feedback positively.
- Good communication skills and the ability to work well as part of a team.
- Care and attention to detail, with a responsible attitude towards safety, tools and customers’ property.

Electrical work and other safety\-critical tasks will only be undertaken within your competence and under appropriate supervision. You will not be expected to carry out unfamiliar or unsafe work without support.
