Hey, you! Yes, you. Love working with your hands and solving problems? This might be the perfect job for you.

We’re The Scottish Shutter Company, twice named the best window shutter installer in the UK: and we’re looking for our next apprentice. No experience? Doesn’t matter. Never used a drill? We’ll teach you.

WHAT YOU’LL GET:

• Full-time, paid position from Day One.
• Hands-on training with no boring classroom nonsense.
• Work on real installations in real homes across Scotland.
• A career path: if you smash it, this could turn into a lifelong trade.

A team that’s more like family (we take our work seriously, but we have a laugh too).

WHAT WE WANT FROM YOU:

 You’re practical, hands-on, and ready to learn.

 You can get to our base (we’ll do the driving).

 You’re not afraid of hard work and precision: measuring to the millimetre is serious business!

 You like problem-solving and teamwork.

 You can chat to customers without being a robot.
