Trainee Campervan Converter, Installer & Finisher Manchester, England
Job description
About us
Scandivans is a small business in Manchester. We are a group of young creatives building beautiful campervans. Please check out our website to get a feel for our aesthetic and direction.
As of this year, our main aim is to focus on luxury Mercedes Sprinter conversions. Our conversions are high spec and fully off-grid. They are designed for weekends away, as well as full time living.
Our business started as a lockdown project and we have quickly grown to a team of four, with the aim to expand further. In the next year or two, we aim to upgrade our workshop and increase our output, so we are looking to build the foundations for that now. We need a good team of hard working people, who love what they do.
As well as making beautiful campervans, we eat a lot of good food and listen to a lot of good music in the workshop. It is important that any new team members become part of the family.
The job role involves anything and everything involved in campervan building and using a workshop, learning from our experienced members of the team. We are looking for someone to start with the smaller tasks and work their way up. If you have good attention to detail, this role could be for you.
