Using SAP and GIS systems to gather and analyse information, you’ll carry out inspections, help schedule maintenance and propose and oversee minor construction works, advising internal and external stakeholders on the technical aspects of our infrastructure. Working towards Chartered status, you will get all the exposure and experience you need to gain full membership of the ICE.
