Full-time – 40 hours per week

There’s more to being a Fitter than simply putting up curtains and blinds - it’s about creating spaces our customers love to live in. If you enjoy solving problems, working independently, and making people smile, this could be the perfect role for you. You ’ll be the friendly face our customers remember.

Whether you’ve worked in retail, hospitality, or customer service, your people skills will shine here just as much as your knack for “getting things done.” If you’re hands-on, personable, and love making a difference, we’ll support you every step of the way with the more practical aspects to the role. You ’ll be out and about, visiting customers in their homes to help turn their ideas into reality and be part of those “ wow ” moments when everything comes together. It’s a role where you get to make someone’s day (and their window!) amazing.

If you’ve ever hung a picture straight or tackled a flat-pack without tears, you’re already on the right track. But if tools aren’t your thing (yet), don ’t worry! We ’ll teach you everything you need to know. You don ’t need to have a trade background to thrive in this role. We welcome people from all walks of life, especially those who’ve built strong people skills and want to learn something new.

“I came from a retail background and had never picked up a drill before. The training was brilliant, and now I love being out on the road, meeting customers and making their homes look amazing.” —Jamie, Made to Measure Fitter
