About us:

West Yorkshire Windows are a part of the highly successful, £60M+ revenue, Conservatory Outlet Group. We don’t just install conservatories, orangeries, double-glazed windows, living spaces, and doors across Nottingham and its surrounding areas - we're redefining modern living spaces for the needs of today’s homeowners.

The group and associated companies are dynamic and innovative businesses that value creativity, teamwork, and commitment. Our employees are the heart of the business, and we invest in good people offering career development and training opportunities. Join us and be a key player in shaping the future growth of our group.

About the Role:

To support our ongoing business growth, we have an opportunity for a Ground Investigator to perform test digs in the ground before the building of a conservatory or extension, maintain historic builds, and assist the building manager with other duties where required across sites in the regions. Other responsibilities include:

• Dig pilot holes in various places to confirm ground conditions and report back the results, including photos and detailed findings.
• Check soil/site ground makeup, suitability, and advise if piling is required.
• The ability to point, lay flags/chippings, screed, and patch a floor.
• Identify and check on existing drainage runs and report this.
• Locate any other problems on site that may affect the build prior to starting, for example, trees (type, size, distance to proposed foundations, etc.).
• Leave locations surrounding works exactly as they were found so the customer is presented with no work to do in respect of tidying or cleaning the property or surrounding area.
• Arrange appointments with customers and book in the test digs with the Building Manager.
• Attend any corrective historic builds to resolve issues as directed by the Building Manager.

What we are looking for:

This role would suit a General Builder or Ground Worker who is looking to join a fantastic business on a full-time basis. Experience we are looking for includes:

• Previous experience and strong knowledge of the construction industry.
• A good understanding and experience in ground works and foundations.
• Meticulous, organized with a strong focus on attention to detail and ensuring work is thorough and complete.
• Effective time management skills with the ability to prioritize tasks.
• Strong knowledge and experience of Health and Safety on site.
• Driving License.
