Multi Trade Apprentice

Group Metropolitan was founded in 1985 as an electrical contractor carrying out small moves and changes projects for a select few clients. Over the past 40 years, we have grown into a turnkey Principal Contractor offering in‑house tradespeople, with a projected turnover of £65m. This has been achieved by working collaboratively with our clients to understand their needs and become an extension of their business, expanding our service offerings and geography to meet the expectations required.

While the business has seen organic growth over the years, our core values of Safety, Quality, Integrity and People remain the same.

Group Metropolitan is an equal opportunities employer committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive workplace. We value dedication, innovation, and teamwork, and we strive to provide an environment where all employees can thrive.
