Door Installation jobs in Blaydon

The Role

We have an exciting opportunity for a uPVC Window & Door Fitter to join our well-established team based in Blaydon-on-Tyne.

You will work as part of a two-person fitting team alongside an existing labourer, installing uPVC windows and doors on new-build housing developments. A company van will be provided and travel throughout the region is a necessary part of the role, so a full UK driving licence is essential.
