We expect installations to be finished neatly, with particular attention given to pipework, trunking, condensate drainage and the positioning of indoor and outdoor equipment.

Accurate job notes and photographic records of installations will be required.

This is a self employed, ad hoc subcontracting opportunity rather than a salaried position.
