Qualifications/Skills Required

Applicants will have a good experience of mechanical site supervision that has been gained through working for a building services contractor previously.

This will have helped applicants gain a solid understanding of the installation of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Preferably, experience would have been gained working on prison projects or commercial and educational buildings, although this experience is not as essential as a strong technical knowledge and background.

Applicants will have gained their relevant City and Guilds qualifications, as well as a CSCS card and other relevant health and safety qualifications that enable them to supervise a team whilst on site. Previous experience of supervising a team consisting of trades and labour; in this case mechanical fitters and various sub-contractors, is very important.

The roles are based on site, although the head office is based in Nottingham.
