You’ll take ownership of your work on site, working closely with colleagues and project teams to ensure installations are completed to a high standard and handed over professionally.
Your role will include:
- Installing and commissioning traffic signals and urban traffic technology
- Delivering installation projects safely, on time and to the required quality standards
- Taking ownership of your work on site and ensuring a professional customer handover
- Working with project teams to identify and report any changes to project scope
- Ensuring all work is carried out in line with SWARCO's Quality, Health, Safety & Environmental (QHSE) requirements
- Completing worksheets, timesheets and project documentation accurately and on time
- Ensuring vehicles, tools, equipment and PPE are maintained in a safe and serviceable condition
- Working in accordance with project requirements, customer specifications and agreed methods of work
- Representing SWARCO professionally when working with customers and other stakeholders
