The Role
We are looking for hardworking, "all-rounder" Groundworkers to join a major civils project in the West Midlands. This isn't just a "digging holes" job; we need skilled operatives who understand the complexities of deep drainage, ducting, and finishing works on high-profile infrastructure sites.

Site Preparation: Ensuring the ground is graded and prepared according to engineer drawings.
Requirements
CSCS Card: Mandatory (Green or Blue).
CPCS/NPORS Tickets: Highly desirable (specifically Dumper/Roller, Slinger, or Cat & Genny).
Experience: Proven experience in a civils-based groundworks role (Drainage experience is a must).
Physical Fitness: The role is demanding and requires working in all weather conditions.
Reliability: You must be punctual and have your own reliable transport to site.
Benefits
Longevity: Ongoing work on regional framework projects (12+ months for the right candidates).
