Pickerings is a leading supplier of high-quality temporary buildings.

You’ll be someone who strives to meet deadlines, whilst always working safely and maintaining quality standards and be able to work effectively with colleagues. Our work is physically demanding and takes place outdoors, so you should be prepared to be exposed to extremes of weather.
