Experienced Groundworker | PKB Civils | Nationwide
£150–£200 per day DOE | CIS or PAYE
We'll cut to it — PKB Civils are busy, winning work, and need good groundworkers.
Not labourers. Not people finding their feet. We need 10 years plus in the game, people who can turn up, read the job, and get on with it without someone standing over them.
If that's you, keep reading.
What you’ll be doing
Working across a range of civil engineering and groundworks projects nationwide. Depending on your strengths, you’ll be getting stuck into:
- Concrete breakout, subbase prep, pouring and finishing slabs
- Shuttering and formwork for slabs and structures
- Steel fixing
- Setting and checking levels with a rotating laser
- Drainage — shallow and deep, up to and over 2m
- Ducting installation
- Kerbing, edgings, flagging and tarmac works
- CAT scanning and working safely around live services
- Operating excavators, dumpers and rollers
Nobody does all of it. We build our teams around what you're best at — so be upfront about where you're strong and we'll put you where you add the most value.
What you get
We're not one of those firms that expects you to graft nationwide and gives you nothing back for it. Here's what PKB offers — properly laid out so there's no guessing.
