Hello there.......thanks for taking time to look at our advert.
We're looking for a couple of special people to join our amazing team here at Cara Glass - could it be you?
For over 30 years Cara Glass have been delighting our customers of Salisbury, South Wiltshire, North Dorset and West Hampshire in providing excellent, quality products alongside amazing installation, with exceptional customer service too - which has given us the reputation we have for being one of the leading local companies for windows and doors.
We are now looking for two people to join our expanding team as a window fitter's mate to support our installation team in fitting windows, doors, conservatories and roofline of different materials.
Ideally, we are looking some someone with some kind of experience in the window industry or perhaps wanting to come into a different area of the trade.
As a Window Fitter's mate, the main role of this task is to go to a job with a can-do attitude, supporting and working with the fitter to install supplied product to Cara's standards - as quickly and effectively as possible. Successful candidates need to be great with listening and verbal communication with customers and team - and this is an essential part of the job.
Tasks will involve a fair amount of manual handling and lifting so a level of fitness is required to carry out the role. The more you watch, learn and develop while on the job will give you the opportunities, in time, to become a window fitter. For suitable candidates, the opportunity of NVQ's in window fitting are also possible in the future, once a level of skill and hard work are achieved.
Daily hours are Monday to Friday 7.30am-4.30pm (contracted 8-hour day and 40 hours a week). 20 days paid annual leave plus bank holidays and discretionary holiday for Christmas closure are provided as part of the role.
Qualifications and previous experience in glazing are desirable, but any prior experience or health & safety qualifications of the construction industry would be an advantage (e.g. current in date CSCS). A full clean driving license able to drive Transit Vans would also be a massive advantage.
On the job coaching and e-learning Health and Safety courses will be provided and the necessary Personal Protective Equipment and tools will be given at the start of job.
Successful candidates need to be reliable and dependable, confident with manual handling and lifting, customer focused, able to complete given tasks under reduced supervision, adaptable to early starts and have a common-sense, safety-first approach to work. If you have a full, valid UK driving licence this would be a useful to support a fitter on a job.
There may be the opportunity to work on some of our larger commercial jobs which may involve staying away from home for short periods of time - this would be discussed on an as and when needed basis and is very infrequent at present.
The type of tasks will include: -

• Loading and unloading product and tools from vehicles
• Keeping sites clean and tidy at all ties
• Fabricating windows ready for installation
• Helping the fitter to install and clean products - sometime working at height.
• Trimming and finishing of products.

The essential skills and attributes we are looking for: -

• Acts with professionalism, honesty, and integrity at all times.
• Reliabiluty and punctuality are non-negotiable parts of the job.
• Customer service is a key, non-negotiable, value - The Cara Way
• A good level of communication skills to discuss detail and work with team and customers
• A thorough attention to detail and accuracy on every job
• Ability to complete all work to the highest of standards, first time fix and as cost effective as possible. If its not good enough for your own house, then it wouldn't be good enough for our customers
• A good level of health and fitness to be able to lift and move products
• A Health and Safety mindset at all times.

The desirable skills and attributes we are looking for: -

• CSCS card.
• A clean Driving license.
• Any technical training like PASMA Tower.
• Experience of being a fitter's mate with another company.
• Able to use a computer to complete e-learning and possible.

What we will provide you: -

• A competitive salary for the role including the opportunity of additional incentive bonuses.
• 20 days holiday a year, plus bank holidays and up to 3 days discretionary holiday for the Christmas and New Year closure period
• Pension contributions.
• Uniform and Personal Protective Equipment
• Tools to complete the work.
• Further training and development opportunities.
• The opportunity to work with and also learn from some of the local industry leading people who are committed to quality and customer service.
• A great family feel team who enjoy what they do
• Interesting and challenging work - no two days are the same
• Paid for company social events

We look forward to hearing from you - just imagine in a few weeks you could be working for us.
