Attending a low number of customer calls as each case can be extremely complicated and time consuming.

On rare occasions operating as part of an installation team to complete new equipment installations, commissioning and user training.

Working to preventative maintenance and installation work which is often booked 2-3 months in advance, whilst also reacting to more pressing breakdowns and repairs.

Working with the engineering planner to coordinate activities and movements.
