Job description

Are you looking for a new challenge? Something with good earning potential, with no previous experience necessary? Then look no further.

The Role:

As a Traffic Light Operative (TLO), your main role will be installing, repairing, and removing temporary traffic lights. This tends to be working on behalf of hire customers, some of whom will be contracted for long-term works, while others will be working more reactively in response to things like emergency utilities works or road-traffic accidents. The nature of these emergency works means hours will vary, which can involve weekend and night work.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Working on-site Traffic Management plans.
• Basic fault finding and resolution of company equipment.
• Signal maintenance and battery exchanges.
• Adhering to all company policies, procedures, and safe methods of working.
• Promoting a positive company image whilst at work, wearing company-branded PPE.
• Engaging in fast-paced and active operative roles, which involve manual handling of batteries weighing 23kg each.
• Investing in EHSQ to ensure that the whole team works safely; we are ROSPA Gold winners.

The Person:

To succeed in this role, you will need to be:

• Super organized to help you keep on top of your workload.
• A fantastic communicator to keep your teammates and customers in the loop.
• Flexible and adaptable, able to keep calm under pressure and multi-task as the day’s requirements and task list evolve.
• Punctual and reliable; we need to know that you’ll turn up and get the job done for our customers, as you are the face of the business.
• Energetic and enthusiastic; if you’re looking for a desk job, this is not for you!

Experience and qualifications:

• A full current manual driving license is required as you will have a company van/truck, which will be taken home at night. A safe place to park is essential.
• A previous role in maintaining or operating temporary traffic systems.
• A previous electrical background would be beneficial.

You must have the right to work in the UK. We will also complete a driving license background check on your initial call if selected.

The Benefits:

Operatives can earn substantially more through overtime, on-call shifts, and three levels of training.

• Company van + fuel card (for work use).
• Training is split into three levels and is linked to pay.
