And you could be working on a project in the UK or abroad assessing a potential acquisition. So you`ll have to think on your feet and have the character to present your findings up to board level, influencing decisions and making recommendations.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
a) Working with Acquisition, visiting sites and preparing sales forecasts.
