Aluminium Fixer Required – Apply Now: Salary R45 000 a month. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to relocate to the UK and work as an aluminium fixer. This has come about due to Brexit which reversed the flow of foreign skilled workers plying their trade in the UK. Every foreigner now needs a work permit and our client will facilitate permits for the right people.

Our client is one of the largest aluminium, glazing and facade installers in the UK and has worked on many of the iconic architectural structures of recent times. Their immediate need is for up to 50 Aluminium Fixers.

The company would specifically like to employ South Africans contractors due to their reputation in the industry as people who “just get the job done”.

You will need to have strong experience in installing aluminium and/or cladding systems (windows, doors, facades).

Once recruited, the company will purchase a one-way ticket for you to London and facilitate a work permit. Company-rented accommodation is offered in England at a nominal cost (houses close to site that are shared with other company employees).
