You’re a qualified Carpenter and Joiner with a wealth of construction experience to draw on. You’ve got the ability to guide teams in bringing complex challenges to life, and your site management expertise is underpinned by exceptional trade skills and a knowledge of Construction Design Management requirements. You love the idea of working both overseas and here in the UK – now it’s time to bring that ambition to life.
At FCDO Services, we protect the UK’s interests at home and overseas. We design and construct secure government buildings, courier diplomatic packages worldwide, safeguard government tech, and a whole lot more. Our work is as varied and vital as it gets, but we never lose sight of our people. Their skills, aspirations and growth mean as much as the global mission we're on. In our world, it all matters.
Restoring the past, building the future; this is the extraordinary impact of our Skilled Trades team. They handle everything from carrying out routine maintenance activities to full fit-outs of new missions overseas, and much more. Some work right here in the UK, while others see locations around the world as they shape them with their skills. Now, you've got the opportunity to join them.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Construction alterations to government buildings.
2. Travelling the world for various projects.
3. Leading the installation and fit-out of new British Embassies and other secure areas.
4. Planning jobs and leading pre-construction activities.
5. Ensuring health, safety, and governance expectations are met.
6. Identifying materials, tools, and equipment for projects.
FCDO Services is an exceptional organisation, but possibly one that you’ve never heard of. But join us in our vital mission, and you could find a role like no other. Working for the UK government and law enforcement bodies, plus friendly foreign government-level customers, your work could take you to every corner of the world. Spending up to 24 weeks each year overseas on construction projects working in secure environments (for up to 8 weeks per trip), the type of projects that you’ll be running are nothing short of career-defining.
When you’re working in the UK, you’ll combine your operational experience with your management knowledge to help the Project Team plan jobs. Your ability to think innovatively, translate technical drawings, and use computer programmes will be essential. Ensuring buildability before the team embarks on each deployment, you’ll be passionate about providing security for UK interests.
Benefits:
1. Competitive salary and generous holiday entitlement.
2. Civil Service Pension.
3. Access to training and development opportunities.
4. On-site gym, nursery, café, and restaurant.
5. Interest-free loans on season tickets and bikes.
All our employees must be security cleared before being appointed, so you will need to undergo a vetting process as part of your application. This role requires you to go through Developed Vetting (DV). You can find out more about vetting on our website.
