Job Description

Are you looking for a career that starts right at the top?

Due to continued growth, we’re in need of additional Loft Fitters to become a part of our Loft Storage installation team! Have you ever dreamt of climbing to heights you never thought were possible…..like the loft space at Mrs. Smiths from No.42!!

The Loft Boys Ltd is a Leading Loft Storage company based in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, and has been turning dreary lofts into fantastic storage spaces throughout the Southeast for 13 years.

The Loft Boys invest heavily in training every team member so they can be the best they possibly can be, as well as taking each team member’s personal well-being very seriously. We truly believe that every member of the TLB family, to date, has helped us make our company what it is today.

Our fitters also get the opportunity to see all parts of our beautiful country due to spending each working day in different parts of the Southeast. Variety is key and each property we visit is unique, along with the customer’s requirements, so if you like a lot of variety… look no further. Pretty cool, right?

So what does the role involve?

• You’ll be helping us provide storage solutions within our customer’s domestic loft spaces throughout southeast England
• You’ll be fully trained to complete the installation of our wide range of loft ladders, flooring systems, and roof windows.
• You’ll be having daily face-to-face interaction with our awesome customer base.
• You’ll be expected to successfully utilise our purpose-built digital software via a supplied tablet.
• You’ll integrate quickly into the TLB family, and make friends for life

What are the requirements for this role?

• You’ll need to hold a Full UK driving license.
• Ideally, you’ll have experience with first-fix carpentry, however, 5 years on the tools in any other trade is welcomed.
• We love people who are friendly, customer-focused, and fun to be around.
• As each job is slightly different, people with problem-solving skills are favoured
• Being punctual, reliable, and trustworthy is an absolute must for us, just as it is for our fantastic customers
• Planning and execution are key so an organised and efficient person is a preference
• Sometimes things don’t go to plan, meaning this role is suited to those who can work overtime when required. Also, we operate a Saturday overtime rota – Cha-Ching!
• TLB has adopted a ‘Promotion from Within’ culture so being motivated by growth will help.

Your Rewards & Benefits

As a cherished member of The Loft Boys (or girls), every member of staff is nurtured to get the best out of them. Here are the main benefits that you’ll get as a valued member of our team:

• Above-average pay for our industry from day one. Plus, a solid and fast-tracked opportunity to earn even more.
• Good, old-fashioned, job security. Like your parents used to have! That means we won’t ditch you at the first sign of trouble… if you’re willing to put your all in, so are we. 
• Opportunities to progress your career within the company. You’ll have promotion opportunities and even the option to switch departments if positions become available. For example, our entire sales/surveying team is made up of ex-loft installers.
• Your mental health is taken seriously. All of our staff have access to confidential & personal one-to-one sessions with our full-time, fully-qualified mental health officer.
• 28 days a year of paid holiday. As well as some extra time off for the top performers!
• Enrollment in our Workplace Pension Scheme. This will offer you financial security in those later years.

And here are the best of the rest:

• If your role requires training, you’ll get it! We have a training area in our head office for fitters and we also use external centres when needed.
• You may get use of a company vehicle to travel to and from work, or for personal use (within reason!).
• Everyone likes free stuff, and we love giving away free stuff, that’s why we introduced our Recognition & Reward Policy. 
• We’re in the process of looking at a shares scheme based on the John Lewis model which would give every employee a stake in the company. 
• All employees are automatically enrolled in our Recruitment Referral Scheme where you can earn even more money by assisting our growth.
• You’ll also enjoy our twice-yearly Away Day. This could be a day out doing something like Top Golf, Go Karting, or Clay Pigeon Shooting.
• And finally…. Freedom! Breathing down the necks of our team every working minute isn’t something we promote at The Loft Boys. We trust our team and believe that if we’re all to function correctly we need to allow each team member to breathe correctly.
