Specialist Cleaning & Decontamination Technician

If deskbound is a dirty word for you and you’re practical, enjoy teamwork and have a flexible approach, here's a no-day-is-the-same job that could see you dealing with an oil spillage and de-greasing a food factory one week, to decontaminating a laboratory the next. As Specialist Cleaning and Decontamination Technician you will be based at our Ewelme site in South Oxfordshire and earn up to £16.83 per hour (£35,000 per annum), depending on experience, plus a host of great benefits, including:

- Discretionary company bonuses
