We aspire to make Griffon Hoverwork an enjoyable and fulfilling place to work.

We in the Griffon Team are proud of our position as leaders in our field. As a growing business we are continually seeking to find like-minded people who have the ability and desire to add value, develop and grow with the business.

At Griffon Hoverwork we are committed to developing our capabilities to meet the demands of the competitive world in which we trade.  We have both apprenticeship and graduate training opportunities on offer to the right candidates.  Unlike larger engineering employers, our graduates and apprentices will take responsibility for their work far earlier in their careers.

We employ a wide range of technical tradesmen, for whom we offer the opportunity to work in a fulfilling and growing environment. Our welders are certified to Lloyds and become expert in bonding thin walled aluminium structures.  Our fitters, mechanics, electricians, painters and stores technicians are continually developing the manner in which we build our craft, refining and improving the techniques on an ongoing basis.

Our engineers come from chartered engineering and naval architect backgrounds and have the opportunity to work with and learn from world leaders in the field. Our designers use the latest CAD technology to develop 3D computer models and take responsibility for the development of major systems.   

Those who work in our sales and commercial functions need to learn fast about the challenges involved in a business where the bulk of our customers are from overseas.  Boredom is not an option.

As the company grows we also need to strengthen our business across all functions and levels.

If you are interested in pursuing a career as part of the Griffon Hoverwork team, we would be delighted to hear from you.
