By maximising the use of wind and sun, Monodraught products make a major contribution to harnessing natural resources, to the ultimate environment benefit of building for the future. Due to our commitment to continuous improvement and innovation of our products we are investing in our R&D department and so we are looking for someone with a willingness to get involved and value what we do at Monodraught value: people, service and the environment. In return, we have a wonderful range of benefits to help reward our staff. They are as follows:- We have a Standard Life pension scheme where the company contributes 5% of the amount of your salary into your pension fund. You can, if you wish, and many company members do, add more to your own pension fund. You can also opt for a “nett salary contribution” arrangement where any pension contribution you make comes off your salary before tax, so this gives an extra tax free cash sum added to your pension. We have an excellent Health cover scheme paid for by the company. We offer various other benefits such as; the cycle scheme to help employees get new bikes at a lower cost, eye care vouchers which help toward eyesight tests and the cost of glasses and we also have a childcare voucher scheme. All the above benefits apply, once you have been with the company for over six months, so if you think you are the candidate that “qualifies”, please consider applying. We are also connected with the VKR Employee Foundation that enables us to apply for grants for our employees facing difficult circumstances. We also work in very environmentally friendly offices with natural lighting from our SUNPIPES and fresh air from our WINDCATCHER natural ventilation and the offices operate as a “showcase” of all our latest developments. Alongside all of this we hold fun charitable events that all the staff can enjoy and are just one of the ways Monodraught gives back to the community. Job Requirements:
