About Us
Lowe Corp Europe, inclusive of Lowe Rental and PKL Group (UK) Ltd, is the world’s leading refrigeration, commercial catering equipment and Portable Kitchen supplier to major food exhibitions, sporting events and retailers across the globe; from the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix to Glastonbury, we provide high quality rental solutions to help our clients entertain and delight their customers.
With over 40 years’ experience, our unique culture is built on people, from motivating and developing our highly talented team, to truly listening to and delivering against our clients’ needs.
Beijing to Boston, Berlin to Belfast, we are an entrepreneurial organisation and take pride in our ability to provide innovative products and services to our impressive client-base.
The Role
Are you the kind of person who loves rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck in?
A natural problem-solver who can fix, build, and make things work?
If that sounds like you, we’ve got an exciting opportunity.
We’re looking for a practical, multi-skilled, hands-on On-Site Project Assistant to help repair, refurbish, and maintain our Portable Kitchen Units and Portable Buildings at sites across the UK — and sometimes overseas.
This isn’t a desk job. It’s a get-stuff-done, no-two-days-the-same role where you’ll be using your skills, learning new ones, and supporting major events and public sector projects.
What You’ll Be Doing
Every day is different. You might be:
Fixing roofs, floors, doors, windows, or plumbing
Carrying out carpentry, painting, and general repairs
Getting equipment moved, set up, and ready to use
Making sure everything is safe, functional, and finished to a high standard
Travelling around the UK (and occasionally abroad) to support exciting projects and events
Who We’re Looking For
We hire attitude as much as experience. If you’re hands-on, helpful, and love working practically, you’ll fit right in.
You should have:
Knowledge in at least one trade (carpentry, plumbing, roofing, flooring, painting, etc.)
A can-do, “leave it with me” mindset
Good communication skills and the ability to work well in a team
The ability to stay calm, flexible, and focused when things get busy
Strong attention to detail and pride in a job well done
Essentials
Full, clean driving licence
Willingness to travel across the UK and overseas
Basic computer literacy
A tidy, safe, respectful approach on site
What You’ll Get
Full training and mentoring from experienced professionals
The chance to grow your skill set across multiple trades
Opportunities to travel and work on high-profile projects
A supportive team that values your work and development
Exceptional candidates who do not meet these criteria may be considered for the role provided they have the necessary skills and experience.
Lowe is an equal opportunity employer and committed to a diverse workforce. We are incredibly selective in our hiring and shortlisting for this vacancy will be completed on the basis of merit. Candidates should tailor their CVs to reflect our essential criteria.
