We are seeking a dedicated and proactive Construction Support Technician to join the excellent team at our City Skills Centre. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in supporting both staff and students as we help develop the future construction and Building Services Engineering (BSE) workforce.

The successful candidate will provide practical and technical support across a range of construction trades delivered within the centre.
