Job Description

About the role

We are a growing painting and decorating contractor delivering high-quality finishes across a range of properties. We are looking for a hands-on Working Supervisor who can lead painting and decorating works on site, maintain quality, and support efficient delivery. As the business grows, some projects may also include small-scale refurbishment elements (e.g., making-good, minor repairs, coordination with other trades).

Key responsibilities

Lead day-to-day painting and decorating delivery on site (interior/exterior as required). Prepare and plan work areas: surface preparation, protection, sequencing, and finish standards. Supervise and support painters/decorators (employed and subcontract), including daily briefings and productivity. Maintain quality control: check workmanship, manage snagging, and ensure consistent high standards. Ensure safe working practices: basic site H&S, tidy work areas, PPE use, tool safety, and reporting issues. Coordinate materials, consumables, and access requirements to keep work moving. Provide progress updates: photos, short daily updates, snag lists, and materials requirements. Liaise professionally with clients/site contacts regarding progress and next steps. Occasional minor refurbishment coordination (as projects require): making-good, small repairs, and coordination with other trades/suppliers -- while the role remains primarily painting/decorating focused.
What we're looking for

Strong, proven painting and decorating experience with high-quality finish standards. Experience leading work on site (working supervisor / chargehand / lead painter level). Good knowledge of preparation methods, coatings, and common substrates. Organised, reliable, and able to keep projects on programme. Client-facing communication skills and a professional approach on site. Driving licence preferred. CSCS card preferred (or willingness to obtain).

Paid holiday + pension Overtime/weekend opportunities depending on projects Progression as the company grows
