About the Trust

We're one of the UK’s biggest charities and we care for 2,000 miles of canals, rivers, docks and reservoirs because we believe life is better by water. We're looking for people who support our cause and want to make a difference for future generations. Could this be you?

Along with our waterways we also manage museums, archives and the country's third largest collection of historic buildings, as well as the nature and wildlife that calls our canals home. All of this enables us to provide wellbeing opportunities for millions of people each year.

Join Our Team: Construction - Craft Operative/Bricklaying Opportunity

Navigate your future and lock in your career as we keep our canals open and alive.

As a Craft Operative/Bricklayer in our Operations team , you will play a vital role in caring for our network, responding to incidents as they happen and ensuring our waterways remain safe and accessible for everyone. They act fast, think on their feet and take real pride in protecting the places people love.

This is a mixed‑skills role suited to someone with experience in one or more trades (e.g., carpentry, metal fabrication, bricklaying, or stonemasonry). You’ll work flexibly, responding to emergencies as they occur across our network.

Working Hours & Travel

This role follows an annualized hours system, including weekends and bank holidays. You’ll be based at our Devizes depot and travel across the Wales and South West region, with occasional support in other areas.

Flexibility is essential, as emergency call‑outs and rapidly changing priorities are a core part of the team’s work.

Role Overview

As a Craft Operative, you will help improve, maintain and preserve our historic network. This includes refurbishing and repairing canal infrastructure such as locks, bridges, aqueducts, towpaths and associated equipment, always working to high safety, environmental and heritage standards.

Key Responsibilities

Carry out outdoor maintenance and repair works to maximize network availability, often involving heritage‑sensitive solutions.
Use bricklaying or other trade skills to support manufacture and refurbishment work to agreed standards and timescales.
Safely operate machinery, plant, tools and equipment, and support inhouse maintenance where required.
Maintain personal equipment, workshop tools and workspace to required standards.
Respond promptly to customer queries and urgent situations.
Ensure equipment, materials and PPE are appropriate for each task.
Assist with measuring locks and lock gates, learning heritage craft skills alongside specialist teams.
Read and interpret technical drawings to inform work.
Work with and supervise volunteers to support sustainable maintenance delivery.
Travel regionally and flexibly to meet nationally prioritized work demands.

About You

You must bring strong operative skills and be confident ing your trade knowledge in unique environments. While additional skills can be learned on the job, competence in at least one relevant discipline is essential to aid your colleagues.

Whether you come from a building or bricklaying background, your experience and enthusiasm will help you thrive in this role.

Skills & Qualifications

Trade relevant apprenticeship or equivalent qualification (e.g. City & Guilds or NVQ Level 2).
Experience operating plant/equipment (e.g., chainsaws, power tools, forklift trucks).
Experience in a relevant discipline in bricklaying or stonemasonry.
Ability to read and interpret technical drawings.
Full UK driving license (essential for regional response travel).

Contact & Application

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]. We encourage early applications as we may close the vacancy once we receive enough suitable candidates.

What We Offer

We offer a starting salary of £29,350 with opportunities for progression. Enjoy a competitive pension scheme, increasing holiday entitlement, and a range of employee benefits.

Our values

We care passionately for our waterways, and as importantly, for those who look after and use them. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone can thrive. We are striving to represent the diverse communities that we are a part of and welcome applicants from across all sectors of the community.

We want everyone to have the opportunity to perform at their best during our recruitment process. If you require any reasonable adjustments - whether for a disability, neurodiversity, or health condition - please let us know what you need and how we can support you. We’ll work with you to make any necessary changes.

All of our jobs can be considered on a part time, flexible or job basis.

We operate a Guaranteed Interview Scheme for disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the role. You are considered disabled under the Equality Act 2010 if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial and long-term negative effect on your ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. We recognise not everyone who is classified as disabled under the Equality Act personally identifies this way, or with this definition of disability. Please do not let this discourage you from ing under the scheme.

At Canal & River Trust, we are committed to fair, transparent, and ethical recruitment practices. As part of our hiring process, we may use AI to analyse applications and support us work more efficiently. However, all hiring decisions – without exception - are made by our hiring managers.

Navigate your future and lock in your career as we keep our canals open and alive.
