Ad hoc installation of steel gates and railings. Will not be work every day, someone is needed on occassional basis.
Will suit someone who has other works going on for themselves perhaps in building or manual related skills business looking for a good rate of pay when installations are needed by my business.
Own van will be a bonus and will attract the higher end of the rate offered, otherwise a van will be provided. Access also to an assistant to assist you on larger jobs wil also be of benefit and their rate can be considered for assisting you for works also.
So hr rate is :
£18 to £22 per hr depending on experience - no van
£25 to £28 per hr - if have own van - ideally needs to be MWB to LWB and high enough to stand up in. SWB wont work for our trade.
Essential Skills :
* Experienced and confident in drilling into masonary, wood or steel
* Cement (Experience with both rapid and postcrete)
* Good at reading measures and planning a job and following instructions eg for fitting of locks etc
Other Useful Skills :
* Core drilling (we generally drill holes 82 mm somtimes out to 120mm)
* Use of angle grinder is helpful, to be able to adjust posts as required to fit hole depth.
Personal Character:
* Calm manner to be able to resolve on site issues and resolve problems if any as the arise.
* Strength to be able to lift/help lift sometimes heavy steel panels as required on a given install.
* Polite to customers even if a job is not installing as quite as planned. But not to spend too long talking to the client in place of getting on with required work.
* If wish to listen to a radio on site then not to have this too loud, we often work in nice locations for clients who may be working from home. (Radio can also distract from what can be a complex installation requiring some thought and consideration).
* Non cigarette smoker is preferred.
* A happy nature and willingness to get on with job and an un-stressed manner is very much the ethos of our business.
Other Aspects:
Initially installs will be conducted with myself - so that i can show how we do things to get the great results we have for each job we have done for the last 7 years.
Eventually the plan is that you can install without assistance on smaller jobs and naturally work with 1 or more installers on larger jobs.
Can be some early starts and some late finishes if the job cannot be left easily in state it is in at day end or that final push to get job done to ensure we do not need to return to site next day.
Also available is general ad hoc driving work to deliver and collect panels to and from galvanisers and powder coaters. So full driving licence with no more than 3 poins is required.
QUALITY:
I do provide an almpost unmatched quality of work in terms of installation, and this is essential and key to the job. I am looking for some one who wants to do as perfect a job as can be done and wil spend the time getting a job to look as best as it can.
An amount of fussing on making the job as perfect as possible is part of the job, eg ensuring handrails are in alignment on balustrades by adjusting with packers here and there to to adjust height, ensuring gaps to walls from post ends and alignment of posts for gates are as best as possible.
You will be self employed status.
Install days can be booked in around your availability, however planned in jobs with clients cannot be changed to often and it will not look good if jobs are changed a day or 2 before the job was plannned, unless weather is particularly bad. We are looking for reliability.
We have most tools but you will also likely have your own preferred tools to use on site, particularly given you will have past experience of installations or manual works.
We look for a fair relationship, professionalism and the reward of regular work that can be very satisfying.
Immediate start for ideal peson.
