Job of the month profiles a career through an infographic you can share with your clients or learners.

This month we’re exploring fencer. Demand for fencers is high due to:

  • properties, such as farms, always needing maintenance
  • farm land being redeveloped
  • construction work on rural and residential land.

If your client or learner is fit and healthy, willing to do physical work and able to follow instructions, a career as a fencer could be for them.
