  • Contractor Management: Escorting external contractors on-site and ensuring work is completed safely.

The School

Located in the leafy and well-connected borough of Ealing , this school is known for its strong community spirit and high standards. The site team is highly valued, and you will be provided with the tools and support necessary to manage the facility effectively.

Why join this team?
