We're looking for an experienced multi-skilled bathroom fitter to join our small but growing team in this pivotal dual role.
This role would suit an experienced fitter with natural leadership qualities and capabilities. You will need to be computer literate with experience in Microsoft Office packages, particularly Outlook and Excel with excellent time management and organisational skills to hit the ground running to help maintain momentum in a critical but exciting growth phase for the business.
We are passionate about providing a professional and quality service to all our customers, so if you're enthusiastic about making a difference to people's lives, then we want to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing:
* You'll be actively booking and carrying out surveys at properties in and around South and Mid Wales,
* Liaising with residents and social housing landlords to develop a schedule of work, prepare specifications and provide quotes for tendering in a timely manner,
* Always thinking ahead, juggling resources, and making decisions in real time; knowing our fitters, understanding their work, and applying common sense to achieve dynamic scheduling,
* Building relationships with suppliers and continually seeking effective procurement, pricing and delivery of materials to keep projects on track, and in accordance with legal requirements whilst demonstrating value for money,
* Provide advice to our fitters on specifications and troubleshooting,
* Carrying out repairs whilst out surveying, aiming for a 'one-call' resolution where possible,

* Forecasting labour availability and assigning repair jobs based on skillset and geographical location,
* Carrying out inspections during and after project completion to ensure quality standards are being met.
Please note – the surveying element of this role is not full time hence it's dual nature. You will be required and expected to carry out repairs varying size and complexity, and up to one full bathroom a month.
