About You
You’re someone who prefers being out on site rather than behind a desk, and you’re comfortable working in environments like construction, demolition, or industrial settings. Early starts, travel, and changing locations don’t put you off. In fact, you enjoy the variety and the sense of purpose that comes with hands-on work.
You take safety seriously and understand the importance of following procedures properly. Working to strict rules, method statements, and risk assessments feels natural to you, and you don’t cut corners. You’re calm, focused, and able to stay composed even in regulated environments where inspections, audits, or oversight are part of the job.
You’re practical by nature and learn best by doing. Repetition and routine don’t bother you, you see them as part of building consistency and getting things right every time. You’re comfortable using equipment, following technical processes, and working in PPE or RPE for extended periods when required.
Please note: You must be 18+ due to the nature of the working environment and a full UK manual driving licence is required for this role.
