    Job Brief

    We are currently looking for a Sports Cover Installer to join our tennis team. The role offers a range of working environments. During the off season you will be required to clean repair and/or manufacture tennis covers at our facility in Warrington. During the tournament season you will be working outdoors as part of the install team and required to install tennis court covers at various venues throughout the UK, such as Wimbledon and Queens Tennis Club. Some European travel may also be required.

On average you can expect to work away from the factory/home for around 4 months of each year.
