• Strong experience repairing, fitting and adjusting doors and frames.
• Good carpentry and joinery skills.
• Familiarity with fire-door components.
• Ability to assess defects and carry out appropriate remedial works.

• Company uniform
• Full-time, permanent employment.
• Ongoing training to meet our fire-door workmanship and reporting standards.
• Varied work across an established property portfolio.
• Support from an experienced office and management team.
