Aluminium windows and doors Glazing and associated facade components General experience in housebuilding, internal fit-out, civils, roofing or unrelated construction trades will not be sufficient without direct facade installation experience.

We already have an active project in Manchester. The successful candidate could start immediately, initially support our existing management team and then move to an upcoming project.

From time to time, you must be prepared to work alongside the team, explain or demonstrate the correct method and, where safe, authorised and appropriate, physically assist with a difficult installation task.

Someone who can plan ahead, communicate clearly, remain calm when problems arise and motivate the installation team even on a difficult day.
