About Us

Excel Resources is a growing, ambitious family-run business providing a diverse range of services to commercial and private clients across London and beyond.

Our operations cover everything from logistics, deliveries and relocations to specialist installations, property services, event support and bespoke projects.

We have built our reputation on reliability, professionalism, problem-solving and our ability to go above and beyond to meet our clients' needs.

As our company continues to expand, we are looking for reliable, hardworking and motivated Porters & Installation Support Operatives to join our growing team.

The Role

We are looking for practical, enthusiastic and physically capable individuals to support our teams across a wide range of assignments, including installations, deliveries, relocations, loading and unloading, and general portering duties.

This is a varied, hands-on position suited to someone who enjoys physical work, being part of a team and working in different environments.

One day you may be assisting with a large commercial installation, while another could involve unloading a delivery vehicle, relocating office furniture, supporting an event setup or assisting with a specialist project.

While previous experience is beneficial, we place equal importance on reliability, attitude, a willingness to learn and a strong work ethic.

We have opportunities available during normal business hours, as well as evenings, nights and weekends, offering flexibility and the potential for additional earnings.

Location & Working Arrangements

This is a mobile, site-based role, with assignments taking place at various client locations across London and the surrounding areas.

Our offices and operational bases are located in Stratford (E20) and Royal Docks (E16). However, the majority of work will involve travelling directly to client sites or meeting our teams at an agreed location.

Assignments may vary in duration, location and working hours depending on client requirements.

We are particularly interested in individuals who can offer flexibility and are willing to undertake work outside standard business hours when required.
