Why should you work for us?
Exciting opportunity to join the largest FM company in the UK. This role will provide you with opportunities for training, development, progression, and internal promotions including Mideals, an opportunity to receive discounts at various high street retailers, including Curry's, John Lewis, Tesco, Sainsburys, Boots, and B&Q.
We currently have contracts based around commercial properties, office sites, banking sites, and broadcasting sites to name just a few. Currently, we don't undertake domestic surveys as we find these are not cost-effective; however, this is not to say we wouldn't turn this work away if such an opportunity arose in the future.
