The Role

Proactively identify opportunities for business expansion and craft tailored solutions to meet client needs.

Primarily covers building fabric work and refurbishments, such as flooring, roofing, joinery, glazing, decoration etc.

You will have 1 to 2 days per week based from home or the office to stay on top of your admin and project documentation.

Flexible regarding national travel and happy to manage the early start times required by our clients.
