Contract: Contract / Long-term opportunities
Rate: £25.00–£26.00 per hour, dependent on experience
Duration: Up to 12 months+, depending on project
Security Clearance: BPSS or SC Clearance required depending on site
The Opportunity
We are currently recruiting experienced Thermal Insulation Engineers / Laggers for two major projects across the South West.
We have opportunities available in both Newton Abbot and Newquay, offering consistent contract work with an established client. The work will predominantly involve HVAC, heating and mechanical services insulation, making these positions particularly suited to Laggers with experience across commercial, industrial or large-scale projects.
The Newton Abbot project is currently expected to run through to the end of November, while the Newquay project is at the beginning of the programme of works and is expected to run for approximately 12 months, with potential to continue beyond this.
The Role
Depending on the project, typical duties will include:
* Carrying out HVAC / H&V lagging and thermal insulation
* Insulating heating installations, pipework and mechanical services
* Measuring, cutting and fitting insulation materials
* Installing protective finishes and cladding
* Cladding work below 2 metres on the Newton Abbot project
* Working from drawings, measurements and site specifications
* Making good and repairing insulation where required
* Ensuring all installations are completed accurately and to specification
* Working alongside pipefitters, mechanical engineers and other site trades
* Maintaining high standards of health, safety and workmanship
What We're Looking For
Candidates should have:
* Previous experience as a Lagger / Thermal Insulation Engineer
* Experience with HVAC/H&V, heating or pipework insulation
* Experience with cladding/protective finishes
* Valid CSCS card or relevant trade certification
* Experience within commercial, industrial or large-scale projects
* Good understanding of site health and safety
* Ability to work independently and as part of a wider team
* Good attention to detail and standard of finish
Security Clearance
Both projects are based within secure environments, so security clearance is an essential part of the recruitment process.
Newton Abbot – BPSS Clearance
Candidates will need to meet the required BPSS (Baseline Personnel Security Standard) vetting requirements before commencing work.
Newquay – SC Clearance
Candidates will need to meet the requirements for SC (Security Check) Clearance. Those who already hold active SC Clearance would be particularly advantageous, although candidates who are eligible and willing to complete the required vetting process will also be considered, subject to the client's requirements.
