Selection is also the opportunity for you to show us why we should consider you for one of our highly sought after vacancies. We will be looking for your ability to work as part of a team, your enthusiasm for the activities and of course your safety awareness. Yes, we have obstacle courses, high ropes and zip wires, but we aren't expecting you to be a the kind of person who spends every spare minute of the day in the gym. As long as you are averagely active we welcome your application.
