Job description

Regional Construction Team Leader / Lead Installer

Location: Covering the Bedford, Northampton and Cambridge Region

Salary: £18 per hour + Company Van + Paid Travel + Overnight Allowance

Contract: Full time, Permanent

Benefits: Company van, Company phone, Paid travel, Accommodation arranged and paid for when working away, 25 days annual leave, £25 overnight allowance, Specialist training and career development and the Opportunity to work with innovative construction technology

Aeroseal UK works with leading housebuilders, developers and construction clients to improve airtightness in new-build and residential projects.

Using the innovative AeroBarrier system, we help buildings achieve demanding airtightness targets by identifying and sealing leakage paths within the building fabric.

Our work sits at the intersection of construction, specialist installation and building performance, offering a unique and rewarding career path.

We are seeking a Regional Team Leader / Lead Installer to join our growing team and support projects across Bedford, Northampton, Cambridge, Milton Keynes, London and surrounding areas.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced construction professional who enjoys practical, hands‑on site work and wants to develop specialist skills within the growing field of building airtightness and performance.

About the Regional Construction Team Leader Role

This is a site‑based position where you'll take responsibility for delivering specialist airtightness installations across a variety of construction projects.

You'll lead projects from arrival on site through to completion, ensuring work is completed safely, efficiently and to a high standard. While most projects are based within the region, you must be willing to stay away when required, typically up to three nights per week.

This role would particularly suit someone with strong construction experience, especially an air tester looking to move into a more practical and hands‑on building performance role.

As our Regional Construction Team Leader you will:

• Lead and deliver AeroBarrier installations on allocated projects
• Take ownership of projects from setup through to completion
• Manage site workflow, productivity, safety and quality standards
• Set up, operate and maintain specialist installation equipment
• Prepare buildings for installation, including manual sealing and site preparation
• Complete de‑prep, pack‑down and site clean‑up activities
• Communicate effectively with site managers, clients and internal teams
• Produce clear site reports, including photos, testing results and observations
• Care for company vehicles, tools, materials and equipment
• Carry out routine equipment checks and report maintenance requirements
• Support and supervise additional installers or labour where required

What We're Looking For

Essential

• Construction or building site experience
• Full UK driving licence
• CSCS Green Card
• Comfortable working away from home up to 3 nights per week when required
• Strong practical and problem‑solving skills
• Excellent communication skills
• Ability to work independently and take responsibility on site
• High standards of workmanship, housekeeping and professionalism

Desirable

• Airtightness testing experience
• Experience using air testing or diagnostic equipment
• Previous supervisory or team‑leading experience
• Knowledge of building envelopes, airtightness layers or ventilation systems
• Background in carpentry, drylining, retrofit, testing or specialist installation work

Successful candidates will complete a structured 4‑week training programme designed to develop the skills and knowledge needed to work independently and eventually lead a two‑person installation team.

The programme includes:

• Hands‑on training alongside experienced team leaders
• Specialist equipment setup and operation
• Airtightness and building performance principles
• Installation techniques across different project types
• Competency sign‑offs at the end of each training stage
• Supporting documentation and guidance materials

Training may involve overnight stays and working with different teams to ensure broad project exposure and experience.

If you're an experienced construction professional looking for a hands‑on leadership role with specialist training and genuine career progression, we'd love to hear from you.
