About the Role
Hutton Shopfitting is looking for a reliable, practical and organised Shopfitting Driver & Yard Operative to join our team based at our Birch yard.
This is far more than a traditional yard role. Combining driving, yard operations and practical site support, you'll play an important part in delivering shopfitting and interior fit-out projects across the UK. You'll be responsible for delivering materials, tools and equipment safely to site, maintaining an organised yard and carrying out minor carpentry and site support tasks when required. The role offers a good balance of yard-based duties, driving and supporting projects on site, giving plenty of variety from one day to the next.
Working alongside an experienced and supportive team, you'll have the opportunity to develop and broaden your practical skills, while contributing directly to the successful delivery of projects nationwide. No two days are the same, making this an ideal role for someone who enjoys variety, practical work and getting stuck in.
