Position Overview:
We are urgently seeking reliable Casual / Ad-Hoc Site Labourers aged 18+ to assist our team at a major residential development in Wigan.

Long-term opportunity: For the right candidate, there may be an opportunity to progress into a full-time, longer-term role with DBR Builders (NW) Ltd, with increased pay reflecting performance, reliability, responsibilities and experience.
Key Duties and Responsibilities:
· Load and unload deliveries and safely distribute building materials, including boards, timber, tiles and other materials, to the required areas and floors of the development.
