Multi-Trade Operative

Enjoy a permanent Multi-Trade Operative role working across kitchen, bathroom and void refurbishment projects in Abingdon and the surrounding area. This is a varied opportunity for an experienced tradesperson with strong carpentry, plumbing, tiling and decorating skills, with consistent work available for successful operatives.
The role offers Monday to Friday working hours of 7:30am to 4:30pm, with the potential for long-term subcontracting opportunities. There is also potential to transfer to a direct arrangement after completing 14 weeks through the agency.
I'd love to see CVs from anyone who has worked as a Multi-Trade Operative, Multi Skilled Operative, or Multi Trader.
As a Multi-Trade Operative, you will be:

• Completing multi-trade repairs and refurbishment works across kitchens, bathrooms and void properties.
• Undertaking carpentry, plumbing, tiling and decorating to a high standard.
• Fitting kitchens and completing associated multi-trade finishing works.
• Carrying out void property works and preparing homes for occupation.
• Completing full plastering or patch-plastering tasks where required.
• Installing vinyl flooring where this forms part of your skill set.
• Moving between different workstreams when priorities change.
• Collecting emergency or additional materials from local suppliers when necessary.
• Maintaining photographs or other evidence of completed work where available.
• Working safely and reliably, without undertaking regulated gas or electrical tasks.

I'd love to speak to anyone who has:

• Strong experience across carpentry, plumbing, tiling and decorating.
• Experience working across kitchen, bathroom and void property programmes.
• Full plastering and vinyl flooring skills would be advantageous, although candidates with patch-plastering experience may also be considered.
• A practical and reliable approach to working in a fast-paced maintenance environment.
• Examples, photographs or a portfolio of previous work where possible.
• Formal trade qualifications are advantageous but not essential where you have substantial, demonstrable on-the-job experience.
• Your own van is preferred due to parking restrictions and occasional material collections.
• A car may be considered if you can transport your tools and accept that parking may be further from some sites.
• Ability to work flexibly across different types of work at short notice.
• Ability to assess your competency honestly across each trade using a skills matrix.

The role is offering the following benefits:

• Consistent Monday-to-Friday work for successful operatives.
• Working hours of 7:30am to 4:30pm.
• Materials delivered directly to site approximately 90% of the time.
• Parking permits can be provided for commercial vans in permit-controlled areas.
• Potential for long-term subcontracting opportunities.
• Potential to transfer to a direct arrangement after 14 weeks through the agency.

The day rate will be £200-£220 per day
Location & travel
The role is based across Abingdon and surrounding locations, with candidates ideally living within approximately 45 minutes of Abingdon to support reliable attendance.
Materials are delivered to site in most cases, although occasional collections from local suppliers may be required. A commercial van is preferred, particularly where permit-controlled parking applies.
If you're an experienced Multi-Trade Operative looking for consistent work across kitchen, bathroom and void refurbishment projects, I'd love to hear from you.
