Multi Trade Operative

Shuel Construction is a family-run property maintenance and refurbishment contractor, established in 2018. We work for housing associations, councils and social landlords across England. Our work includes damp and mould remediation, disrepair, voids, kitchens, bathrooms, roofing and internal trades. We are fast, efficient and honest, and we look after the people who work with us.

We're looking for experienced multi-skilled tradespeople, either one-man bands or small companies, to join our growing subcontractor team. You'll carry out repairs and refurbishment in occupied and void social housing properties.

• Plastering and skimming
• Tiling
• Basic plumbing (basins, WCs, taps, simple pipework)

You don't need to be an expert in every trade. You must be competent in several and confident to manage a job from start to finish.
