📢 We’re Hiring!!! – Climbing Wall Technician

We’re looking for a reliable and practical individual to join our team in the Lake District as a Climbing Wall Technician. This is a full-time, workshop-based role within our fast growing business.

You’ll be involved in a wide variety of hands-on tasks including climbing wall production volume assembly, and on occasion, climbing wall installation. No two projects are the same, so we’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work and enjoys working as part of a close-knit team.

🔧 Requirements:

- Previous experience in a workshop or construction environment
- Confident using hand and power tools
- Good attention to detail and a strong work ethic
- Ability to read drawings and follow instructions
- Valid UK driving license

Additional skills such as forklift qualifications or climbing industry knowledge are a bonus but not essential.
