Full job description

Overview

Join us as a Trainee Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) & General Operative and learn a valuable specialist trade. HDD is a trenchless method of installing underground pipes and ducts without digging a continuous open trench. You’ll receive paid, hands-on training in HDD and plant operation as part of a small, experienced team.

Although HDD is an important focus, this is a genuinely varied practical role. Alongside drilling projects, you could be operating excavators, completing groundworks, maintaining machinery, organising the yard or helping with building and property-improvement projects. No two weeks are likely to be the same.

Responsibilities

Assist with the setup, operation and maintenance of HDD rigs, excavators and other plant under supervision.
Help prepare drilling equipment, rods, tooling and work sites.
Learn the HDD process, including pilot boring, reaming and pulling underground pipes or ducts into position.
Develop the skills to operate excavators and other machinery safely and efficiently.
Assist with excavations, groundworks, reinstatement and general labouring.
Help maintain machinery, vehicles, the workshop and yard.
Support a broad range of construction, building and property-improvement work.
Carry out routine equipment inspections and identify potential issues or hazards.
Follow instructions and communicate clearly to ensure work is completed safely and efficiently, at times working with high levels of autonomy.
Help transport plant, equipment and materials when suitably qualified.

Qualifications

A full UK driving licence is essential.
Previous experience with machinery, construction, agriculture, groundworks or mechanics is desirable but not essential.
A practical mindset and genuine interest in machinery and how things work.
Willingness to learn HDD, plant operation and a broad range of practical skills.
Strong safety awareness and a reliable, proactive attitude.
Willingness to work outdoors, undertake physical tasks and get involved wherever needed.
Ability to work well as part of a small team.
An HGV licence would be advantageous; for the right candidate, we may be willing to fund HGV training.

This role is ideal for someone seeking a long-term career involving specialist HDD work, machinery and plenty of practical variety. Comprehensive training and ongoing development will be provided.

Benefits

Overtime paid in addition to salary
Weekday overtime paid at 1.25 times the normal rate
Weekend overtime paid at 1.5 times the normal rate
25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
Planned Christmas shutdown
Workplace pension
Paid training in Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) and specialist equipment
Potential funded HGV licence training for the right candidate
Ongoing training and professional development
Opportunity to take real responsibility and work autonomously
Varied work across HDD, plant operation, groundworks, maintenance and building projects
Long-term opportunity within a small and growing business

Pay: £28,000.00-£32,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
