About the Role
We are currently recruiting 2 experienced Residential Sprinkler Fitters to join a well-established and growing client operating across new-build residential sites throughout the Central Belt of Scotland, primarily between East Glasgow and Edinburgh.
This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals with strong experience in fitting CPVC sprinkler systems on residential developments. The role offers immediate starts and the option to either begin on a temp-to-perm basis or transition directly to a permanent position for the right candidate.

For Permanent Hires:
• Competitive hourly rate (£17–£18 ph based on experience)
• Company van, mobile phone, and fuel card provided
• Long-term job security with an established and supportive employer
• Opportunities for overtime and career development
For Temp-to-Perm Candidates (Subcontractors):
• Immediate start under subcontract arrangement
• Use of own vehicle required during initial 3-month temp period
• Opportunity to transition to full-time permanent role with benefits

• The work will primarily take place throughout the Central Belt, with jobs across various new residential development sites
