About the role
Cockerill & Co is recruiting on behalf of a well-established flooring contractor that supplies and fits for housebuilders across the North West and Manchester. They're looking for a Site Inspector to keep installation standards high across their developments.
This is a field role. You'll spend around four days a week out on site and one day in the office near Preston. It's ideal for a time-served fitter who's ready to come off their knees but wants to stay in the trade.
What you'll be doing
- Inspecting installations across carpet, LVT, vinyl and laminate on live housebuilder sites
- Checking subfloor preparation and moisture readings before fitting starts
- Signing off completed plots and managing snagging through to completion
- Investigating defects and working out whether the cause is the subfloor, the product or the fit
- Writing clear inspection reports with photographs
- Building good working relationships with site managers
- Monitoring fitter quality and helping recruit, induct and develop new fitters
- Keeping accurate records, including RAMS and site documentation
What you'll need
- A hands-on flooring background, ideally as a time-served fitter
- Strong product and installation knowledge across the main floor coverings
- Confidence to have straight conversations with fitters and site managers
- Good written English for reports
- CSCS card
- Full UK driving licence
Nice to have
- NVQ Level 2 in floorcovering or equivalent
- Subfloor preparation training (e.g. Floorskills, Ardex, F. Ball)
- New build or housebuilder experience
- SSSTS or SMSTS
- Contacts in the North West fitting community
What's on offer
- £30,000 to £36,000 basic depending on experience
- Company van and fuel card for business use
- Performance-related bonus
- Pension and holiday [confirm entitlement with client]
All applications treated in confidence.
