Site Installation Lead – Specialist Snow Sports Slope Builds
Location: UK-based with extensive UK & overseas travel
Employment Type: Full-time, permanent

This is a long-term, hands-on role working on unique snow sports slope projects around the world. You’ll join a small core team in a specialist engineering environment, building year-round synthetic snow sports slopes for clients in the UK and overseas. The position is practical and site-based from day one, with scope for the right person to grow into a more supervisory or managerial role over time.

This role:

  • Involves regular working away, often internationally.
  • Requires physical, hands-on installation work on active construction sites.
  • Means solving problems on live sites, sometimes with limited information.
  • Involves taking responsibility early in a small, growing business.
  • Is not office-based and not structured like a corporate role.

You might be a great fit if:

  • You actively want to travel and work in places most people never will.
  • You enjoy building things and are not afraid of hard, physical work.
  • You’re comfortable working under an experienced site lead, while taking on increasing responsibility as you develop.
  • You’re happy organising people and tasks while also doing the work alongside them.
  • You like being trusted to figure things out rather than following a script.
  • You’d rather be a big fish in a small pond than a cog in a large machine.

An engineering background, trade or mechanical qualification, or health & safety awareness would be useful but is not essential. What matters most is your attitude, adaptability, and sense of ownership.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Installing specialist snow sports slope systems on live sites in the UK and overseas.
  • Working as a hands-on operative within a small build team, often away from home for periods of time.
  • Supporting the day-to-day organisation of site activities, including materials and logistics.
  • Assisting with coordinating labour on site when required.
  • Tackling and resolving practical problems as they arise.
  • Gradually taking on more supervisory responsibilities as your experience and capability grow.

What’s On Offer:

  • A long-term role in a unique, niche global business delivering unusual and interesting projects worldwide.
  • A clear opportunity, for the right person, to progress into a more supervisory or managerial position over time.
  • Responsibility and influence far earlier than you’d typically get in a larger organisation.
  • Work that is challenging, varied, and occasionally tough but rarely boring.
  • Competitive pay depending on experience, plus travel-related allowances.
  • Experiences and project environments you simply won’t find in standard engineering or construction roles.
