Company Overview

Lea Scaffolding is recognised as a great place to work. Our scaffold apprenticeship scheme provides a great way to gain key on-the-job experience whilst working towards a nationally recognised qualification.

Job Summary

The role will initially be based in the yard, where you will support the preparation, unloading, and organisation of scaffolding materials. After a short initial period, you will be allocated to site work and will be always working alongside at least one qualified scaffolder.
