The Company:
We are an innovative and forward-thinking decking and cladding company, that is dramatically changing the way in which decking/cladding is installed. It is a product like no other, that fits many purposes: cladding, decking, privacy fences, decorative ceilings, slat walls, for indoor or outdoor use. With its capacity to work with almost any type of material (wood, composite, aluminum boards, pavers, bamboo, ceramic boards...), and across many industries, its’ applications and development possibilities are endless.
The Grad system allows decking/cladding to be installed quickly, easily and reliably, providing a decking that lasts, but can also be easily lifted if required (unlike traditional decking systems), saving time and money. Grad is well established in France, Germany and the US, and is now setting up a new team in the UK, so whilst it will benefit from being part of a big family-owned company in France (https://burgeretcie.fr/) it will need to take a start-up approach in the UK.
Role:
Are you an out-of-the-box thinker, a self-starter, who likes learning, and turning challenges into opportunities? Do you want to be part of a new team and company with potential to grow exponentially? Are you from the construction industry or would you like to get involved in it? Then, we want you!
