They are growing fast, and are looking for someone who can take ownership, bring structure, and lead projects from the first conversation to the final commissioning sign‑off.

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Freedom with responsibility: work from home, manage your own schedule, and stay close to the action with regular site visits.
  • Serious variety: one month you might be supporting a huge custodial development, the next you’re delivering a fast‑paced commercial installation.

What’s In It For You:

  • Salary: £50,000 – £60,000 based on your experience, plus a profit share to add a little extra sparkle to your pay packet.
  • Holiday: 24 days a year + bank holidays. Plus, an extra day for every 5 years of service and another day at 10 years of service.
  • Benefits: Life insurance (x3 your salary post-probation), pension, salary sacrifice, and a range of employee wellbeing perks, including free counselling and an Employee Assistance Programme.
  • Work-Life Balance: 45-hour week, Monday to Friday, with flexibility towards working times due to the nature of the work.
  • Company Perks: Two all-expenses-paid company events each year – one in the summer, one in the winter.
  • Company Car: you have the option to have a company car once you have successfully completed your probationary period.
