Experience working across offices, retail, hospitality, leisure, healthcare, pharmaceutical, industrial or other commercial environments would be highly advantageous.

Additional qualifications such as IPAF, electrical testing, CSCS, Asbestos Awareness or Ladder Card would also be beneficial.

What's In It for You?

The salary is £45,000–£60,000 depending on experience, and this is where the package becomes particularly attractive:

• Time and a half Monday–Saturday overtime
• Double time Sundays and Bank Holidays
