I started working for KSB around 5 months ago and I can honestly say its the best job Ive had. If you dont mind living alone in hotels and working a lot of hours then this job is perfect. The KSB recruitment team are great. My main recruiter is Kieran and hes had my back the whole way through. This job like any other can be hard at times but overall its a great job to have, you get to travel a lot and see great places as well as meeting great people. Its weekly pay and all accommodation/travel are paid for.
