• Kitt’s first line of service: running a first assessment of the situation: carry out repairs or recommending a specialist contractor on site
• Performing site inspections, identifying and reporting the need for major repairs
• When required, you’ll be present when contractors attend sites and ensure completion of the works are up to Kitt’s standards.

Why Kitt?

The world of work has shifted forever. As people everywhere prioritise purpose over their paychecks, company culture has been thrown into the spotlight. But the problem is, too many companies are showing up to work in bland, cookie-cutter offices. We’re leading this change. Real company culture can only be built in-person, in the real world – and for it to be authentic it needs its very own, personalised space. That’s why we create offices as unique as the brands and the people who work there. We’re long-term culture partners to our clients long after they've signed the lease and chosen the paint colours.

Interview Process

2. In person interview with Charlotte Vaughan-Reynolds (Senior Operations Manager) and Simon Warner (VP Business Operations)

3. Final interview with Steve Coulson (CEO & Co-Founder)
