The role -

This is a hands-on position for someone who is just as comfortable getting out of the cab and mucking in with the wider team as they are operating machinery.

You will be based from our yard in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, travelling to sites across the South. Some projects may require staying away from home, so flexibility is important.

You will be working on a range of specialist projects and operating modern plant and equipment to a high standard, safely and productively.

CPCS and/or NPORS cards
A proven track record in a similar role
The ability to read and work from plans
A strong work ethic and willingness to support the wider team
Good awareness of Health & Safety
The flexibility to travel and stay away when required

Highly desirable:

Machine control dozer experience
Experience using optical and GPS control systems
Experience working on sports turf or sports field projects

Working hours -

Summer site hours are typically 7:00am to 6:00pm, Monday to Friday, so you will need to be comfortable with travel and longer days when project demands require it.

Pay -

This is a PAYE position, with pay based on your experience level:

£13.00 - £15.00 per hour - lower experience
£15.00 - £17.00 per hour - mid-level experience
