Embrace ambitious carpentry and joinery challenges in unforgettable locations
FCDO Services is an exceptional organisation, but possibly one that you’ve never heard of. But join us in our vital mission, and you could find a role like no other. Working for the UK government and law enforcement bodies, plus friendly foreign government-level customers, your work could take you to every corner of the world. Spending up to 24 weeks each year overseas on construction projects working in secure environments (for up to 8 weeks per trip), the type of projects that you’ll be running are nothing short of career-defining. For example, you might be team leading the installation and fit-out of a new British Embassy in Toyko or carrying out some reconfiguration of an existing secure area in Sao Paulo. You might even be using your expertise to carry out installations and support for a friendly foreign government. Whatever you’re doing, and wherever you’re doing it, you’ll use your site management experience to lead and motivate a multi-skilled trade team, and help them deliver every project on time, and within budget.

Working domestically or overseas, find an unparalleled opportunity
When you’re working in the UK, you’ll combine your operational experience with your management knowledge to help the Project Team plan jobs, taking the lead on pre-construction activities. This will cover the full remit of requirements – from identifying where we can enhance standards and taking ownership of documentation through to embedding health, safety and governance expectations in every initiative – so your ability to think innovatively, translate technical drawings and use computer programmes will be essential. Ensuring buildability before the team embarks on each deployment, you’ll identify the materials, tools and equipment they’ll need to complete the job safely and on time. Across all that you do, you’ll be passionate about providing security for UK interests, so the ability to adapt quickly will take you a long way.

Develop your skills, wherever you are
Working with us you’ll help keep people, information, and assets safe around the world. It’s a role you can feel proud of; and we aim to make every part of your career just as rewarding. That’s why when you join us, expect to receive a competitive salary, generous holiday entitlement and a Civil Service Pension. Along with this, you’ll also have access to training and other development opportunities to help grow your career with us. Our offices have an on-site gym, nursery, café, and restaurant, and we offer interest-free loans on season tickets and bikes to help you get there. It's a great set of benefits made to support all you do, and all you need.
