National Installation Manager - Pools and Temporary Structures
Salary: £30,000 + up to £4,000 annual performance bonus
Location: Nationwide (Field Based and remote working)
Build Something That Matters.
Every year, around 35 children lose their lives through accidental drowning in the UK, and thousands more leave primary school unable to swim the required national standard.
We exist to change that.
Primary Pools brings pop-up swimming pools directly into primary schools, removing the barriers that stop children learning this life-saving skill.
Every installation we deliver gives hundreds of children the opportunity to learn to swim.
Every successful project creates confidence, improves safety and changes lives.
As demand continues to grow, we're looking for someone exceptional to take ownership of our nationwide installation operation.
This is an opportunity to build and lead one of the UK's most unique operational divisions.
You'll become responsible for delivering our nationwide installation programme, leading teams, improving systems, developing people and setting the standards that every future installer will follow.
As we grow, you'll help build the installation department from the ground up.
You'll recruit people.
Train people.
Develop leaders.
Improve processes.
Create systems.
Raise standards.
Your work won't just determine whether a pool and its housing structure is built correctly.
It will determine whether hundreds of schools receive the service they expect and thousands of children get into the water on time.
What You'll Own
You will become the operational owner of everything that happens once a school says "yes."
That includes:
- Nationwide installation planning.
- Pool and marquee builds.
- Logistics.
- Vehicle movements.
- Installation quality.
- Site surveys.
- Contractor coordination.
- Health & Safety.
- Equipment standards.
- Asset management.
- Continuous improvement.
- Technical problem solving.
- Emergency response.
If something affects the successful delivery of our pools...
You'll own it.
What Success Looks Like
Success isn't measured by how many hours you work.
It's measured by the impact you create.
You'll know you're succeeding when:
- Every installation is completed safely.
- Swimming lessons always start on schedule.
- Schools recommend us to others.
- Equipment leaves every site in better condition than it arrived.
- Installation teams want to work with you again.
- New installers become exceptional because you've trained them.
- The business becomes capable of delivering more schools every year without sacrificing quality.
The Person We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who takes ownership.
Someone who sees problems before they happen.
Someone who naturally improves everything around them.
Someone who leads by example.
Someone who wants responsibility rather than instructions.
You don't need swimming pool experience. We'll teach you everything about our systems and installations.
What we can't teach is attitude, ownership and leadership.
You'll Probably Enjoy This Role If...
You naturally organise people.
You enjoy solving problems.
You take pride in building things properly.
You notice details other people miss.
You like creating systems that make everyone else's job easier.
You're calm under pressure.
You expect high standards from yourself and those around you.
You don't wait to be asked. You simply get things done.

Safer.

Why Join Primary Pools?
We're still small enough that one exceptional person can transform the business.

Your ideas will be listened to.
Your improvements will be implemented.
Your leadership will directly influence the future of the company.
You'll help shape the department.

Develop future leaders.
And create an operation that delivers life-changing opportunities to children across the country.
