Position Summary

We are looking for a genuinely skilled and versatile Multi Trader to join our site delivery teams across commercial and infrastructure projects in London and the South-East. By genuinely skilled, we mean someone who can carry out a wide range of trades to a real standard - not someone with a strong primary trade who can paint a wall or hang a door at a push. If that is you, this is not the right role.

What we need is someone who can walk onto a site, understand what needs doing across multiple disciplines, and get it done to a client-facing finish. You might be tiling a toilet block, fixing out a comms room, making good after pipework, and repairing a plasterboard ceiling on the same day. You will need to be able to do all of it well, plan your own materials, and manage your time without being directed every hour.

Most of our work is in existing occupied buildings - airports, railway stations, and live commercial premises. You will often be the only trades-person in a space, dealing directly with clients and their representatives. You will be expected to represent Aura professionally at all times. Overtime is available and there will occasionally be requirements to work away from home.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out high-quality trade works across all disciplines as required - including carpentry, plumbing, plastering, tiling, painting, dry lining, flooring, and general fixing and making good.
• Deliver work to a client-facing finish standard across all trade types, not just your strongest area.
• Assess what is needed on site, plan your own scope, and execute it without requiring detailed instruction on every task.
• Read, interpret, and work from basic construction drawings, layout plans, and specification documents independently.
• Liaise directly with clients and client representatives on site - explain what is being done, manage expectations, and respond professionally.
• Make good after M&E works - patch plastering, boarding, tiling, painting, and reinstating finishes in occupied spaces.
• Work around live M&E services safely, identifying what is present and avoiding damage or conflict.
• Carry out minor building fabric repairs as required.
• Adapt approaches to suit existing building conditions - surfaces, structure, and services will not always be as drawn.
• Assess, procure, and manage materials for your own scope without relying on others.
• Be security conscious at all times, particularly in airports, railway, and client-controlled environments.
• Adhere to permit-to-work, access control, and induction requirements in live and restricted environments.
• Work overtime and occasionally away from home where project requirements demand.
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organised work area.

Required Skills and Competencies

• Minimum five years of experience as a multi-trader in a commercial or residential construction environment.
• Demonstrably strong across multiple trades - not a single-trade operative who does other work occasionally.
• Able to carry out carpentry, plumbing, plastering, tiling, painting, and dry lining to a good standard.
• Must be able to assess a job, obtain materials, and carry out the work to a high standard of workmanship independently.
• Able to read basic construction drawings and work from them without supervision.
• Confident and professional when dealing directly with clients on site.
• Resourceful, self-motivated, and able to manage your own time and materials.
• Security conscious - comfortable operating in controlled access environments.
• Comfortable in live environments with access control and permit-to-work systems.
• Physically fit and capable of manual handling requirements.
• Willing to work overtime and occasionally work away from home.
• Valid CSCS card.
• Own tools across your full trade range.
• Full, clean driving licence.
• Good spoken English.
• Right to work in the UK.
