WORK WITH US
Four posts, and the pay is on the page
We train installers rather than bidding for them, we pay on the twenty-fifth, and nobody here works on a roof at two in the afternoon in March.
WHY HERE
Four things we can put in writing
None of this is a benefit. It is the minimum a trade should offer, and we say it plainly because in this industry it still needs saying.
Paid on the 25th, every month
Never late, never in instalments, and never conditional on a customer having settled. This is a low bar and most of our applicants tell us it is the reason they applied.
Certification at our cost
Energy Commission installer certification, the fees, the training days and the re-sits if you need them. You keep it whether or not you stay with us.
Proper equipment
Harnesses, roof anchors, insulated tools and boots that fit, replaced when they wear rather than when they fail. Nobody here works off a ladder balanced on blocks.
Off the roof by four
Rooftop work in Accra between noon and three in the dry season is dangerous and it is bad work. We start at half past six and we finish early.
OPEN NOW
Four posts, with what they pay
Ranges rather than a single figure, and the figure you are offered depends on what you can already do rather than on how you negotiate.
