Floor Layer

Build a long-term career — not just your next job

We're expanding our flooring team across South Wales as work grows across our long-term facilities maintenance contracts.

Before we get into the day-to-day, here's what really matters:

Career progression — the real kind

At Sherwoods, progression isn't rushed and it isn't based on empty promises.

Several members of our senior leadership team started with us as apprentices. They learned the trade properly, proved themselves over time, and progressed because they were ready — not because of a job title being dangled in front of them.

That's exactly how we still do things today.

We won't promise you a supervisor role in three months.

What we will offer is:

A stable, growing business

Clear opportunities as the company expands

Support, training, and trust as you develop

A long-term career path if you want oneIf you're good at what you do, committed, and want to grow, we'll back you.

Why this role is different

This is a role for experienced floor layers who want to settle in and build something, not hop between short-term jobs.

Planned work with realistic schedules

Trusted to manage your day once on site

No micromanagement, no unnecessary pressure

A business that hires ahead of demand, not after people burn out

A full UK driving licence

Willingness to undertake an enhanced DBS checkFloor laying qualifications or an apprenticeship, project management experience, and H&S training (e.g. IOSH) are all a bonus, but not essential.
