Midlands – Regional Opportunities
Frank Rogers Building Contractors are expanding our social housing operations following the award of a significant programme of void property works across the Midlands and East of England.
We are looking to establish a reliable regional team of experienced Multi-Skilled Void Operatives to support an ongoing programme of works.
The workload will be across the wider Midlands region. Wherever possible, properties will be grouped geographically to minimise unnecessary travelling and allow operatives to work efficiently within defined areas.
Due to the nature of void-property works and changing demand, applicants should be comfortable with a reasonable amount of regional travel when required. As a general guide, this may involve travelling up to approximately one hour from your home/base or between working areas, although every effort will be made to allocate work efficiently and geographically.
This is not intended to be a role involving constant long-distance travelling. Our objective is to build regional teams and allocate consistent workloads within sensible geographical areas as the contract develops.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is an opportunity for good-quality, reliable tradespeople looking for consistent work with an established main contractor.
Typical Works Will Include:
- Joinery repairs, doors, frames, locks and ironmongery
- Kitchen repairs and installations
- Basic plumbing and sanitary repairs
- Bathroom repairs
- Patch plastering and making good
- Wall and floor tiling
- Skirtings, architraves and general carpentry
- Sealants
- Minor flooring repairs
- General property repairs and maintenance
- Completing works from void-property defect/scope sheets
- Providing clear before, during and completion photographs
We are particularly interested in operatives who have previously worked within social housing, void properties, responsive repairs or property maintenance and are comfortable completing a range of trades rather than working within one narrow discipline.
Applicants Should Ideally Have:
