Marble Polisher

Description:

Experienced Marble Restoration Technician / Marble Polisher

Summary:

We are looking for an experienced Marble Restoration Technician to work on an ongoing refurbishment project at a prestigious 282-bedroom hotel in Canary Wharf.

This is expected to be an ongoing project lasting several months, with the potential for further work across other four- and five-star hotels in London.

The contractor must provide their own specialist tools, polishing machinery and standard consumables.

Work will initially be carried out at weekends, with possible additional shifts depending on room availability.

Payment will be made weekly through an approved CIS payment provider.
