Job Description

We’re growing, we’re expanding and it’s happening fast, so we’re on the lookout for a new Civils Operative to join our team and carry out short duration projects – actually, we need more than one, we need two. If you join us, you’ll be responsible for general groundwork, making sure our installations run smoothly, and schedules stay on time. Think excavations, service trenching, columns and signposts, just to name a few of the day-to-day jobs, rounding all that off with ensuring you make good along the way. We’re known for the quality of our work, so you’ll need to bring with you extensive experience, a passion for all things groundwork and high standards. You may not have considered working in car park management, but why not? You’ll be joining a great team and a business with an amazing culture, backed up by our Great Place to Work certification, earned through feedback from our own employees – not decided by anyone else, just the people that know us best. As you can imagine, all these car parks aren’t in one place, so expect to be away from home up to 4 nights a week. When you are away though, we’ll provide the accommodation, plus a meal allowance, and an overnight premium paid each month with your salary. We know staying away isn’t everyone’s cup of tea (or coffee), but it is an important part of this role. Location wise, you’ll need to be based in the Northwest of England within easy reach of our Operations Hub near Preston, so you can collect whatever you may need for an installation. To help you in getting the job done we’ll provide you with a company van, fuel card, and any tools and equipment needed, as well as PPE including boots. If we think you need it to carry out the role, it’s on us. Interested? Then read on. Once you’re sure you match the essential experience and have the certs we’re looking for, send us your CV and hopefully we’ll be in touch.
