Groundworkers Gang
Join a trusted team for long-term contract work with top hourly pay. Ideal for skilled groundworkers and excavator operators ready for a rewarding civils project.
The Groundworkers Gang role stands out for its high hourly pay of £19 to £21 per operative on a long-term, full-time contract. This offer targets skilled workers keen on continual employment, with excellent rates available that acknowledge experience and commitment.
As a temporary yet ongoing contract, the job ensures regular and consistent work for a reliable three-person team. It’s perfect for established gangs of two groundworkers and one excavator operator seeking strong financial incentives.
You’ll be working within a busy civils environment, where proven dependability, teamwork, and safety are all highly valued. If you’re proud of your robust record and qualifications, this position provides a direct route to rewarding work and competitive pay.
Typical Responsibilities and Job Insight
The core responsibility is to undertake deep and shallow drainage works, including trench excavation and manhole construction. Experience in laying foundations and structural footings is also essential.
Your typical day will involve handling external finishes such as kerbing, flagging, and concrete slab laying. For the excavator operator, tasks will focus on safe, efficient earthworks and drainage with heavy plant machinery.
All operatives must hold a Blue CSCS card, while the 360 excavator operator will need a valid CPCS or NPORS ticket. The team’s efficiency, safety, and ability to complete varied civil projects are primary expectations.
You’ll operate as an independent, skilled unit and be expected to deliver work to a high standard, maintaining site safety and strong communication throughout the contract.
The position suits those who enjoy hands-on civil work and thrive as part of a close team.
