Skilled Tradespeople Wanted – Put Your Skills to Work and Earn More

Location: London Payment: Agreed price per job — no fixed salary, day rate or hourly wage

About Optimal: Optimal Maintenance & Refurbishment delivers work for estate agents, property managers, housing associations, commercial clients and private landlords across London.

We’re building a delivery network where excellent tradespeople are valued and have the opportunity to do well.

Great at your trade? This opportunity is built for you.

You’ve put years into developing your skills. You know how to assess a job, solve problems and deliver work you’re proud of. At Optimal Maintenance & Refurbishment, we want that experience and hard work to create real earning opportunities for you.

We’re expanding our delivery team with skilled, hands-on tradespeople who want to earn through the quality and amount of work they deliver.

Our model rewards productivity: you receive an agreed price per job. Accurate pricing, good planning and quality workmanship give you the opportunity to complete more work and earn more.

We recognise that tradespeople bring different strengths, experience and capabilities. We want to understand what you do best, match you with suitable opportunities and give you room to succeed.

Who we’re looking for:

We welcome general builders, multi-trade professionals, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, heating engineers, roofers, decorators, plasterers, tilers, flooring installers, kitchen and bathroom fitters, and external works specialists.

You must personally carry out your allocated work. Subcontracting, outsourcing or passing jobs to others is not permitted. We want to see your workmanship and build a relationship with you.

Scope it. Price it. Deliver it.

You’ll have the opportunity to assess and scope jobs yourself before committing to delivery. This means using your experience to:

  • Understand exactly what work is required.
  • Confirm that you have the skills, qualifications and capacity to complete it.
  • Determine how long the job will realistically take.
  • Identify the materials needed and calculate their cost.
  • Highlight access requirements, dependencies and any exclusions.
  • Put forward a clear price and a realistic delivery plan.

You can then deliver work you have personally assessed, with the right time allocated and the material requirements understood from the outset. Good preparation gives you greater ownership of the outcome and a stronger opportunity to earn from efficient, quality delivery.

How it works

  • Get suitable opportunities: We offer work that matches your trade, location, skills and availability.
  • Assess and quote: Scope the job, confirm you can deliver it, and calculate the time and materials required.
  • Agree the assignment: The scope, job price, timescale and payment terms are agreed before you start.
  • Deliver quality work: Complete the job yourself to Optimal’s standards, raising any changes before carrying out additional work.
  • Build your earning potential: Efficient, reliable delivery creates capacity for further assignments when available.

You’ll be part of Optimal’s supply chain and delivery team, supported by our office team. We’ll train you on our standards and platform, which you’ll use to manage your calendar, receive job information and provide daily updates.

Requirements

What makes you a strong fit?

  • You’re skilled in your trade and take pride in getting work right.
  • You can scope jobs accurately, estimate realistic timescales and calculate material costs.
  • You price competitively while allowing enough time and resources for a quality finish.
  • You work efficiently, keep your commitments and communicate clearly.
  • You treat clients’ properties with care and leave your work clean and tidy.
  • You take ownership of problems and respond professionally to feedback.

You’ll also need:

  • Proven trade experience, with references and photos of work you personally completed.
  • Your own suitable vehicle, tools and appropriate insurance.
  • Relevant qualifications and registrations where required.
  • A smartphone for job information, daily updates and photographs.
  • Clear spoken English and good communication skills.

Benefits

Why join Optimal’s delivery network?

  • Make your experience count. Your skills, judgement and organisation can directly influence what you earn.
  • Take ownership from assessment to completion. Deliver jobs you have scoped and planned, with a clear understanding of the work, time and materials involved.
  • Show us what you can do. We recognise individual capability and want dependable tradespeople to grow through suitable opportunities.
  • Focus on delivering great work. Our office team coordinates client requirements, access and job information.
  • Enjoy variety. Assignments range from repairs and maintenance to kitchens, bathrooms and larger refurbishments.
  • Build a lasting relationship. Strong workmanship, reliability and clear communication support consideration for repeat assignments.

Greater productivity must always go hand in hand with quality. Work and earnings depend on demand, agreed prices, suitability, availability and performance; neither is guaranteed.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
