  Career progression and development

Our clients are looking for motivated trainees to join a long-term training programme in hard metal roofing and cladding, working across sites throughout the Central Belt of Scotland.

This is a hands‑on, site‑based role with clear progression from learning the basics in Year 1 through to becoming a fully capable installer and future squad leader.

• Long‑term career opportunities within the business

Successful trainees will progress into fully qualified Hard Metal Installers, with opportunities to lead their own squad and, subject to performance, move onto price work.

This role is aimed at individuals looking to build a proper trade and long‑term career in construction.

• Hard metal roofing and cladding systems.
• Prefabrication and installation of panels, flashings, trims and gutters.
• Safe use of tools, machinery, and access equipment.
• Material handling, organisation, and site set‑up.

• Reliable, punctual individuals keen to learn a skilled trade.
• Comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions.
• Pride in workmanship and site standards.
• Ability to follow instructions and develop technical ability.
