The role will consist of the installation of connected cameras, safety sensors, and vehicle trackers, spanning from cars to 26T lorries and agricultural machinery.

Work Conditions
When applying, please consider that we work closely with the transport industry. Given the nature of the industry, there are many occasions where access to vehicles is only available on weekends. Consequently, our engineers will typically work 1-2 weekends per month. However, we provide weekdays in lieu and numerous opportunities for overtime as a result. While the majority of the work will be in your region, larger projects may require engineers to travel and stay away from home.
A competitive salary is offered, along with 28 days of holiday, including bank holidays. Additionally, a company vehicle, uniform, tools, and a Smartphone will be provided.
