A well‑established specialist contractor is looking to recruit two Irrigation Installation Technicians to support continued project delivery across commercial and large‑scale residential sites in London and the South East.

This is a hands‑on installation role suited to someone with experience in irrigation, landscaping, or horticulture, who takes pride in practical work and wants to be part of a stable, long‑term team.

The Role

You'll work as part of an experienced installation team delivering irrigation systems and associated works across a varied project portfolio. Projects range from large commercial developments to high‑quality residential schemes.

Key duties include:

• Installation of irrigation systems for planted landscapes and green spaces

• Supporting senior installers and engineers on site

The role is site‑based, practical, and varied, with consistent work available throughout the year.

Relevant backgrounds include:

• Irrigation installation or maintenance
• Landscaping with technical exposure (soft or hard landscaping)
• Horticulture with systems‑based experience

Formal qualifications are not essential - time‑served experience, attitude, and work ethic matter most.

Location & Travel

• Projects primarily across London and the South East
• Candidates from West London, the M3 corridor, Buckinghamshire, Kent, or surrounding areas will be well placed
• Occasional staying away may be required, with accommodation and expenses covered

Pay, Hours & Benefits

• £15-£20 per hour, depending on experience
• PAYE employment
• Standard 40‑hour week with regular overtime available (up to 60 hours)
• Overtime paid at time and a half
• Company van (commercial use), fuel card, phone, and parking covered
• 23 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Pension scheme
• Strong history of staff retention and long‑term employment

If you're a capable installer looking to work on interesting, well‑run projects with a company that values quality and reliability, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
