laborer Doncaster, England
Job description
A full-time vacancy has arisen for an Excavator Driver / Labourer to join Colwill Contracting Limited.
The successful applicant will operate machinery and work efficiently to ensure all areas of our service are conducted to the highest standard. As a member of our team, you will undertake many aspects of construction and water level management work as instructed and to the standard detailed. A large proportion of our work is undertaken as contractor to local Internal Drainage Boards and as such work must be completed to high standards.
Working closely with local internal drainage boards we offer a range of watercourse management solutions. Our yearly maintenance program covers approximately 280 miles of drains and ditches. These are carried out sympathetically to ensure the natural environment and ecosystems are encouraged.
Our yearly maintenance programme, lasting approximately 5 months of the year, takes place during the harvest season. This work requires periods of lone working and as such we require our staff members to be capable of managing their own workloads, accurately record completed work, reporting daily to their line manager. Due to the lone working aspect of our work you will be required to think on your feet and liaise confidently with land owners, board members and engineers alike. Excellent spoken and written English is essential.
At Colwill Contracting Limited we offer a wide range of services to our customers and we are looking to recruit a forward thinking, flexible, driven individual to complement our company. We are looking for someone who has a can-do attitude and is willing to get stuck in and get the job done both to a high standard and in good time. This is not a role for a specialist machine driver and will require a large degree of flexibility. You must also be physically fit and you must be able to work, walk around and access sites and watercourses in all weather conditions.
Experience working within the water drainage industry and/or agricultural machinery is preferable, although we recognise that this role may attract candidates from across a number of disciplines.
The appointment offers a competitive salary depending on qualifications and experience, together with the Local Government Pension Scheme, the use of a company vehicle, with fuel card, during work hours and the opportunity to progress as the business develops.
Normal working hours are 0800 – 1630. During our seasonal months working hours are extended to aid completion of the work. Overtime paid at an overtime rate of time and a half. A performance-based bonus scheme is in place for work undertaken during our yearly maintenance programme.
Annual holiday entitlement starts at 23 days.
ANNUAL SALARY: £24,500 – £29,500, dependent upon experience.
Please send a copy of your CV along with a cover letter by email to [email protected].
