The Role and About You Imagine a mechanical fitting role where your weekend starts the moment you clock off, and you do not have to think about returning to work until Tuesday morning. You will step into a highly optimised shift pattern that completely protects your personal time. Working strictly between Tuesday and Friday, you will completely bypass Monday morning blues.
