Company Overview:

We are a specialist career transition company dedicated to helping individuals identify and launch their next careers. We have an exciting opportunity to join a large national organization that maintains a local feel and is recognized as an armed forces-friendly employer.

This role offers a perfect transitional opportunity for service leavers to gain exposure within the commercial world while working alongside fellow veterans, providing a comfortable and semi-familiar environment. If you have served in the UK Armed Forces and are looking to embark on your next career, this position could be the ideal fit for you.

Those with practical experience using machinery, tools, or working in hands-on roles will be well-suited for the General Labor/Installer role.

In this role, you will be expected to learn new skills, assist in project installations, and ensure that all projects meet company standards for safety and quality.
