About Canute Homes LTD

  • Canute Homes was founded in 2024 with the goal of finding solutions to the global housing crisis. For building contractors, there is a logistical minefield of labour allocation and material purchase for every housing project. Often times the period of building a house extends over months, which is long enough to see increase in prices of some of the materials.
  • Once we identified fibreglass, it became increasingly clear that it is not only one of the strongest materials known to man, but it is also lighter. The next challenge was design. Our design focuses on hermetic sealing, ease of installation, durability, seismic resistance, sound proofing, thermal insulation, etc. Paul and Dee founded the company to begin pre-production of these modular housing panels in 2024. In early 2027, the first deliveries on preorders will begin. So this is our story.

Things to consider

  • Able to travel to work and college reliably and turn up on time, candidates within easy daily reach of our Bridgwater unit (right next to train station) are well placed for the day-release pattern
  • If you are happy taking on physical, active work of this kind, this could be a great fit
  • You MUST be prepared to commit to your work and training for the duration of the apprenticeship. In some cases, you may be required to have a telephone interview with Yeovil College prior to your application being passed on. If a suitable candidate is found prior to the advertised closing date, it may close earlier so please apply early to avoid disappointment
