The Opportunity
This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly technical and well-regarded specialist fire door contractor delivering remediation, maintenance and replacement projects across London and the UK. The business operates primarily across the private residential and commercial sectors, with projects spanning London, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool.

Larger projects of around £1 million will have a dedicated Site Manager throughout.
