About You
You will be an experienced and dedicated multi-trade operative with a demonstrable background in the building and trades industry. You’ll hold an industry standard qualification, or equivalent recognised competency in one core trade such as roofing and ideally, you’ll also have additional experience in at least one other trade, enabling you to confidently tackle jobs requiring more than one specialism.
