Join the team
We are an award-winning company based in Kent and we are a market leader in providing installation and support to our highways, railways and construction clients throughout the UK and Ireland.
Through our constant use and development of innovative technology, our new divisions, SOSEC & INSTABOOM™ are showcasing the world's first mobile solar-powered barrier systems, protecting construction staff and sites while cutting carbon. Due to the growth of these divisions, we need more dedicated team players to join us, learn the ropes and become part of a team as we expand our global presence. Are you up for a challenge?
We want people who are creative with a can-do attitude, real professionals. You should have high attention to detail and good personal standards, be safety aware and not willing to cut corners on any job. We like to get our hands dirty so it would be great if you were a practical hands-on person with a UK driving licence and experience of using hand tools, happy to follow direction as well as use your initiative. Any experience you may have gained doing jobs in the building or construction industry would be beneficial but not essential. You should be energetic, an excellent communicator and be a solid team player with personality.
If this sounds like you and you want to join our amazing team, please send your CV to info@solargates.co.uk.
