🛠️ Key Technical Skills Required

• Deep Drainage (Up to 4m): At 4 meters, you are dealing with significant ground pressure, requiring expert knowledge of trench boxes and shoring systems to prevent collapses.

• S278 / Street Works: Working on "live roads" means you need to be proficient with traffic management awareness and have a precise hand to avoid disrupting existing fiber, gas, or water mains.

• Utility Drawings: You need to be able to translate a 2D map into a 3D mental image of what's beneath your feet. "Reading the lines" correctly is the difference between a productive day and a regional power outage.

📋 Essential Qualifications

To be successful for this role in Kent, you'll likely need to produce the following:

1. CSCS Card: Blue (Skilled Worker) is usually the minimum for this level of responsibility.

2. CPCS/NPORS: Valid tickets for Forward Tipping Dumper and Ride-on Roller.

3. NRSWA (Streetworks): While not explicitly listed, having your "Streetworks ticket" (Unit 2 for operatives) makes you a much more attractive candidate for live road projects.

4. Right to work in the UK
5. Provide 2 professional finishing references.

💡 Tips for Your Application

• Highlight Safety: Mention your "zero-harm" record or specific experience with Permit to Dig systems.

• Specify Projects: Don't just say you did groundworks. Mention specific Kent-based infrastructure or housing developments you've worked on.

• Deep Digs: Explicitly state that you are comfortable working at depths requiring shoring, as the 4m requirement is a specific "gatekeeper" for this role.
