The group and associated companies are dynamic and innovative businesses that value creativity, teamwork, and commitment.

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.

  • 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:

  • Strong knowledge and experience of Health and Safety on site.
  • Driving License.
