Vacancy Detail
Groundworkers are the first contractors to begin work on a construction site. They work closely with all construction trades, such as bricklayers, and plant operatives, to prepare the site ready for building works to begin.
You will receive a site safety briefing and a schedule of work for the day and be expected to work as part of a team to complete tasks set for that project.
You will undertake a variety of tasks such as:
- Foundations, hard landscaping and earth works
- Concreting
- Traditional drainage and pipe laying
- Benching, channelling manholes and gullies
- Road works, laying kerbs, paving
- Surfacing and tarmac laying
- Utility ducting and laying
- Use of plant/machinery
- Steel fixing and piling
In order to work on site you will be required to sit a Health and Safety Operative test to gain your CSCS card. This will be organised by M. Lambe.
Other Information
The apprenticeship will be based outdoors and will require you to be physically fit. You must be able to get to site for 7:30am every morning. We are looking for individuals with an excellent work ethic, motivated and willing to learn, flexibility and resilience with a positive attitude.
