You should be committed to developing new skills and gaining knowledge of the industry. The ideal candidate will be willing to learn, curious, and a good communicator and listener; this really could be a turning point for someone who hasn't been given that opportunity to thrive.

All of our staff have families, therefore we appreciate a work/life balance is a top priority. The quicker you can gain knowledge, the quicker you can earn more. We will review your pay every 3 months for the full term of your apprenticeship; we refuse to have staff underpaid and undervalued.
Paid overtime
We will provide you all hand and power tools necessary to carry out your job.
Company vehicle: You get to choose what van and specification.
28 days holiday per annum as well as bonus holidays. These are fully paid days off, offered if we complete a project before scheduled.

What We Expect From You

1. A real thirst for knowledge! Information intake each day will be very high.
2. Ability to work well with others.
3. Strong problem-solving skills with a willingness to learn the various techniques involved. A logical thinking mindset is invaluable for this.
4. Good communication skills to effectively liaise with the rest of the team and clients.
5. Forward thinking: This job involves planning ahead; visits between projects can be months apart, so it's imperative all aspects of a project are considered.
