Own Transport and Remote Work Requirement:
Due to the rotational shift structure, candidates are required to have reliable own transport for office-based shifts, particularly early and late shifts where public transport may be limited. Graveyard shifts are worked remotely, however candidates must still be able to travel to the office when required for training, meetings, or business needs.
