Fitter Installationist On-Site Construction

Personnel Selection are recruiting for permanent On-Site Installations Operatives of pool liners and associated Spa equipment. You will be joining a prestigious, busy, experienced and growing on-site lining team. This is a practical, hands-on, field-based role working across the UK to install high-quality vinyl liners into swimming pools during the construction phase.

If you enjoy practical work, travelling to different sites and being part of a skilled and supportive team, this could be an excellent opportunity to develop your career within the swimming pool industry.

You will be based in Andover, Hampshire, and will travel nationwide to customer sites as part of a two-person on-site lining team. The role requires flexibility, particularly during the busy Spring and Summer seasons, when regular overnight stays and longer working days will be required.
