Job description

Personnel Selection are recruiting for permanent On-Site Installations Operatives of pool liners and associated Spa equipment. You will be joining a prestigious, busy, experienced and growing on-site lining team. This is a practical, hands-on, field-based role working across the UK to install high-quality vinyl liners into swimming pools during the construction phase. Base salary is £27101 but realistic overtime earnings bring the salary to £31901.

If you enjoy practical work, travelling to different sites and being part of a skilled and supportive team, this could be an excellent opportunity to develop your career within the swimming pool industry. Full training will be provided, but candidates with relevant transferable skills are encouraged to apply.

You will be based in Andover, Hampshire, and will travel nationwide to customer sites as part of a two-person on-site lining team. The role requires flexibility, particularly during the busy Spring and Summer seasons, when regular overnight stays and longer working days will be required. This role would not suit someone who needs to be back for regular certain times of the day as the hours can vary in busy season. Our client does however try to start very early and finish at normal times as best possible and they try to avoid weekend work but there may be the odd occasion where this would be required.

Previous experience in swimming pool installation, on-site lining or vinyl fitting would be highly advantageous. However, applications are also welcomed from candidates with hands-on trade backgrounds such as construction, laminate or vinyl laying, rubber roofing, welding, fitting or similar practical work involving tools, materials, measuring, cutting and installation.

You will receive full one-to-one training from experienced colleagues who will support your development and help you build confidence quickly in the role. This is a strong opportunity for someone with the right practical background and attitude to develop specialist skills within the swimming pool industry.

• Observing health and safety requirements at all times.
• Keeping work areas tidy, organised and professional.
• Completing work to deadlines while maintaining excellent standards.
• Assisting with measuring up on-site for quotations.
• Field-based role travelling across the UK from Andover, Hampshire.
• Long days and flexibility with working hours will be required.
• Regular overnight stays will be necessary, particularly during busier periods.
• Accommodation and evening meals are covered under the expenses policy.
• During quiet seasons in the later winter months, assisting within the yard / warehouse.
