What we expect of you

Please dress in a presentable and tidy manner suited to your work. This includes wearing clothes with no visible logos and using safety equipment. Your primary contact will let you know at your briefing meeting about the types of clothes you need to wear.

Flexibility and awareness

Project requirements can change quickly. We ask that you keep aware and stay in touch with your primary contact. This includes checking your emails and phone.

Positive attitude

A positive and friendly attitude is important when you interact with the public, other suppliers and CP staff.

Team player

It is important to keep aware of project requirements. We may need you to help with other parts of the project depending on how much time we have. This might include help to set up and pack down a project.
