This isn't just a job; it's your chance to be the backbone of our projects, working closely with our leadership team. You'll be instrumental in making sure everything runs like clockwork, from the initial design spark to the final de-rig. Think of yourself as the ultimate project wingman! 😉

- On-Site Support: Occasionally, you'll join us on site for installations and de-rigs, ensuring everything goes off without a hitch. 🛠️
- Post-Event Power Up: Help us figure out what happens to our creations after the event – storing, reusing, donating, selling, or responsible disposal. 🌱
Where you'll be:
- Primarily based at our cool workshop in Manningtree. Expect a mix of computer-based work and getting hands-on in the warehouse. 💻🏭
- Occasional travel for on-site event support across the UK and Europe (trips can last 1-10 days). ✈️

- You'll be working towards a Business Administrator Level 3 Apprenticeship Standard, complete with a City & Guilds Level 3 Diploma. 🎓
- Enjoy monthly classes at Colchester Institute (Colchester Campus). 🏫
