Floor Layer - South

not just your next jobWe're expanding our flooring team across South Wales as work grows across our long-term facilities maintenance contracts.

Before we get into the day-to-day, here's what really matters:
Career progression

the real kind

At Sherwoods, progression isn't rushed and it isn't based on empty promises.

Several members of our senior leadership team started with us as apprentices.

They learned the trade properly, proved themselves over time, and progressed because they were ready

not because of a job title being dangled in front of them.

That's exactly how we still do things today.

We won't promise you a supervisor role in three months.

What we will offer is:

A stable, growing business

Clear opportunities as the company expands

Support, training, and trust as you developA long-term career path if you want oneIf you're good at what you do, committed, and want to grow, we'll back you.

This is a role for experienced floor layers who want to settle in and build something, not hop between short-term jobs.
