Powercomm Group is an equal opportunities employer.
The principal accountabilities outline the main duties. However, in an organisation such as Powercomm Ltd it is inevitable that tasks may arise which not fall within the remit of the above may list of main duties. Employees are therefore required to respond with a flexible approach when tasks arise which are not specifically covered in their job description. Should an additional responsibility become a regular part of an employee’s job, the job description will be amended to reflect this.
