Additional Information

These are primarily regional roles within the South East , however due to the nature of country wide contracts, there may occasionally be a requirement to travel further afield to support project delivery. In the longer term, the positions will become fully regionally focused , providing engineers with a stable localised patch once contract structures are fully established.

If you are a Gate Automation Engineer outside of these regions, please still get in touch as we have more roles pending!
