Job description

Are you an experienced construction worker looking to work locally?

Are you someone who likes working outdoors and has some experience in simple groundworks and installation?

Would you be interested in training to gain your HGV Class 2 Driving Licence?

If you're someone who can learn on the job and turn your hand to various manual tasks, then this role could be what you are looking for.

Who are we?

Bauer Media Outdoor are a leading Out of Home media owner, operating more than 33,000 advertising sites nationwide. We are a friendly and culture led company who value and support our employees to be the best they can be. We also care about the communities we work with and the environment too!

We're excited to be working on some interesting projects this year and now looking for Construction Operatives to join our growing team in St Helens.

What will you be doing?

You'll be working as part of a two-person crew, spending most of your day breaking up ground and replacing / installing new digital units and bus shelters for our local communities. You'll must be willing to train to drive a HGV Class 2 Vehicle to help you do this.

This role will involve travelling to sites (roadsides and public areas) in the North West area, plus occasional travel further afield and some night working dependent upon business needs - sufficient notice will be given with lodgings and reasonable overnight expenses provided.

You'll receive an attractive salary of £35,900, which will increase once you have passed your HGV Class 2 training, plus annual bonus, paid annual leave 25 days plus bank holidays, opportunities for training and development and fully expensed tools and PPE.

It's a physically demanding role which requires you to work at height, mainly using a small step ladder, so you'll need to be a team player and watch/help out your crew partner.

If you're not Class 2 HGV qualified then we'll train you up and cover the costs, however you must be able to commute independently to and from our St Helens Depot in your own transport.

Responsibilities & Accountabilities:

• Transport digital units from the depot to the installation site via a HGV truck (after training)
• Break ground and install digital units.
• Replace component level parts on digital units.

• Follow the Construction Design and Management regulations 2015.
• Make sure traffic management is in place before starting work with segregation/prevention measures to prevent unauthorised people within your working area.
• Follow our Health and Safety policy and the site-specific risk assessments and method statements.
• Correctly use equipment (including working at height), maintain and keep tools/equipment safe on site.

Knowledge, Experience and Attributes:

• Full driving licence with no more than 3 points
• CPCS Slinger
• Competency in CAT use.
• NRSWA accreditation to Operative standard
• Excavation and sub-structure knowledge
• Understanding of RAMS
• Ability to read and understand technical drawings
• Competency in use of power tools such as Hydraulic breakers and Disc Saws

What's in it for you?

• Salary is £35,900 per annum (with potential overtime opportunities)
• Annual bonus up to 8% of your annual salary
• 33 days holiday inc. bank holidays
• Company Pension Scheme matched to 8%
• Life Insurance and Income Protection scheme
• Healthcare Cash Plan
• Cycle to work scheme, season ticket loans and a whole host of discounts across 100s of retailers
• Social events
• Volunteering days
• Employee Discounts across hundreds of retailers
