<p class="text-muted mb-3">Working either independently or as part of a deployment team, you will ensure each mobile unit arrives safely, is positioned and set up correctly, and is fully operational and ready for the customer.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">The position would particularly suit someone from a military transport, logistics, engineering, operations or technical support background who is accustomed to working independently, following procedures and taking responsibility for getting the job completed properly.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">The original role specifically requires candidates to be comfortable working away from home for extended periods and travelling throughout the UK and overseas.</p>
