You'll travel to customer premises across the UK to complete these works, following the agreed plan and working closely with the Project Engineer, who will guide and support you remotely.

· Maintain a professional, customer-focused presence on site, representing CT at all times.

· Develop your technical skills through self-learning, mentoring from Project Engineers and working towards relevant certifications., · Structured mentoring from experienced Project Engineers, with a clear development path towards a Project Engineer role.

· Support for Microsoft/Azure certifications and ongoing professional development.

· Overtime and out-of-hours working recognised in line with CT's overtime policy, with travel expenses covered.
