We like things to look great, fit, work well, and last a long time. For us, it happens to be windows and doors, but it could just as easily be something completely different. Great engineering, pleasing aesthetics, accurate careful work, and superb products that are loved by our customers – that’s what we’re all about.

We really value our people.

About the job:

Are you ready to dive into a role that values precision and creativity? As a Trainee Window Surveyor, you'll work alongside experienced professionals to learn the ropes of surveying bespoke windows and doors. This role offers a unique blend of on-the-job training and personal development.

Key Responsibilities:

Assist experienced surveyors with on-site measurements and assessments
Learn to interpret architectural details and building regulations
Communicate effectively with customers, site managers, and architects
Ensure every detail is accurate and meets our high standards
Progress towards independent surveying responsibilities

About you:

Are you good with detail? Here’s a flavour. There are architectural details, building regulations, hidden stuff, bits that are difficult to work out, manufacturing constraints, paint finishes, handles, and “make sizes”, and that’s just the tip of this particular detail iceberg.

Whether you're a new graduate, a school leaver, or considering a career change, if you bring the right attitude, we want to hear from you.

You’ll be great if you:

Insist on getting things right
Are a clear, logical thinker

Can visualise details in 3D
Have a reasonable head for heights
Have a good sense of direction, humour, and responsibility

You’ll be even better if you:

Have all the above and you bring bonus “smarts”; experiences, qualities and capabilities that we didn’t know to ask for.

Competitive salary
Comprehensive training and development programmes
