This is an opportunity for someone who is keen to learn, develop practical skills and build a career in a specialist trade. Full training and support will be provided alongside experienced members of our team, with the opportunity to work towards a recognised Level 2 qualification in Waterproof Membranes Installation.
Our work covers a range of flat roofing systems, including single ply membranes, bituminous roofing and liquid-applied waterproofing.
