Build a career with DLP.
A directly employed trades workforce with proper training, proper pay, and clients who stay for decades. We're always interested in hearing from skilled trades.
Directly employed. Properly employed.
Our team is on our payroll — not a subcontractor's. That means proper PAYE, sick pay, holiday pay, training budgets, and the reassurance that comes with working somewhere long-term.
Most of our tradespeople have been with us for years. A few have been with us for decades. It's not the norm in this industry, and we're proud of it.
From apprentice to trade lead.
We take on apprentices every year across every trade. If you're starting out, we'll invest in you. If you're already qualified, we'll back your certifications and heritage-skills training so you keep growing.
- Apprenticeships — gas, electrical, plumbing, joinery, brickwork, plastering, decorating.
- Heritage skills — CITB heritage certifications, lime training, traditional joinery.
- Safety & compliance — Working at Heights, IPAF, PASMA, asbestos awareness — all funded.
People who take pride in the work.
- Time-served trades who take the work seriously.
- People happy to wear DLP branding and be accountable for it.
- Reliability — turning up, communicating, finishing.
- A clean driving licence for most roles (we run branded vans).
- Willingness to travel across the North West.
