About the role:
Our Support Services are always on hand to offer advice and guidance to colleagues across our business.

You will work closely with architects, designers, and project teams to translate design concepts into precise technical drawings.

Additionally, you'll provide technical support to the project team during construction and installation phases, addressing any design-related queries or adjustments as needed.
