Recruitment Target & RemunerationLondon & the South-East

20 New Engineer Starts.

Plan recruitment activity towards 22 starts, providing a modest contingency while supporting the ambition to grow the overall team. Twenty new starters is the headline target.

Definition of successful start: An appropriately checked engineer who has joined and begun delivering work.

Targets guide the programme; recruitment and retention outcomes are not guaranteed.

Operating Proposition & Remuneration Model

Described as: “Work sourcing, booking and operational support around a self-employed engineer opportunity.”

50% of the labour revenue element (not company profit).

Materials paid for by 0800 HomeFix. Paid monthly, 1 month in arrears. Applicable CIS deductions apply.

Worked example: £2,000 + VAT job (£1,000 labour / £1,000 materials) → Engineer receives £500 pre-CIS.
