Here's what our QA Team Leader had to say:
“This is a great opportunity for someone who knows what good looks like when it comes to electrical installations and wants to have a real impact. You’ll have the autonomy to be out in the field, working closely with our installation partners, sharing your expertise and helping us continuously raise the bar on quality and safety.
