Tradeline Recruitment

We are recruiting a hands-on Working Foreman to join a leading fit-out specialist delivering fast-track refurbishments and maintenance projects across London for high-profile hospitality clients.

Projects range from short 2-day minor works/maintenance to 2–3 week fast-track refurbishments with values up to £250k. You will be responsible for overseeing operations on-site (occasionally running a couple of smaller sites concurrently) while actively helping on the tools - particularly during project close-outs, snagging, and keeping sites running efficiently.

Key Responsibilities

  • Site Leadership & Supervision: Manage day-to-day site operations, sub-contractors, and trade teams on fast-track pub refurbs and maintenance jobs.

  • Hands-on Trade Support: Roll up your sleeves to assist with finishing works, snagging, site tidying, and trade support to ensure clean handovers.

  • Reporting & IT: Complete basic site reports, photo updates, and admin using mobile/tablet applications to keep the management team updated.

  • Multi-Site Management: Oversee single main projects or coordinate across a couple of smaller, local 2-3 day maintenance schemes when required.

  • Health & Safety: Maintain strict H&S standards on-site, conduct inductions, and ensure safe working environments in live or fast-turnaround hospitality spaces.

Requirements & Qualifications

  • Trade Background: Time-served trade background strongly preferred (Carpentry, Joinery, Finishing trades, etc.).

  • Certifications: Valid SMSTS, active CSCS Card, and First Aid at Work.

  • Hospitality / Refurb Experience: Proven experience in fast-track commercial fit-outs, pub refurbishments, or reactive maintenance.

  • IT Skills: Proficient with basic site reporting, smartphone/tablet apps, and email.

  • Driving: Full UK Driving Licence (Vehicle & Fuel Card provided).

  • Work Ethic: Adaptable, hands-on "muck-in" attitude with strong organizational skills.

What’s on Offer

  • Pay: £240-255 per day (CIS / Self-Employed option available for both temp and long-term/permanent positions).

  • Company Van & Fuel Card provided.

  • Strong pipeline of continuous work across London with a direct temp-to-perm option.
