● Proven Experience: Demonstrated professional experience specifically within the street lighting sector.

● Slinger Banksman: Must hold a valid Slinger Banksman ticket.

● Streetworks: Valid NRSWA Streetworks card.

● Availability: Must be available for an immediate start.

● Driving & Commute: A full, clean UK Driving Licence is essential, with the ability to reliably commute to and from the Huddersfield depot for early morning starts (06:30 AM).

● EUSR Cat & Genny (Cable Avoidance)

● HEA Card

● ERG39

● Abrasive Wheels
