Labourer - Scotland - Barratt Developments plc

Description

Within the Construction environment, think about buying materials, managing big projects, ensuring health and safety and customer service. At any given time, you'll find us working on some circa 400 developments in both towns and rural areas across the UK, and every one poses unique challenges. Some are from scratch on brownfield sites; others see us adapting existing buildings, like old factories or disused hospitals.

We need people who can bring us fresh ideas and imagination on one hand, and the commercial ability to manage people, budgets and costs on the other. It is testament to the professionalism of our construction teams that for an unprecedented thirteenth year, Site Managers have won more NHBC Pride in the Job Awards than any other housebuilder.

Responsibilities

• Report to the Site Manager and ensure that all labouring tasks are completed to the highest standard and within the required timescales.
• Carry out all works on site as instructed by the Site Manager and in line with BDW Standards and procedures.
• Inspect on-site signage, including large sale signs, plot signs, safety signs, etc., and ensure signs are clean and in good repair.
• Take personal responsibility for health and safety on site and report any breaches to the Site Manager.
• Ensure that protection of fixed material is carried out by the Sub-contractor who fits it, in line with BDW procedures.
• Ensure protection of fixed material is maintained to the last possible moment and notify the Site Manager of anyone permanently removing or abusing protective materials.
• Maintain compounds and welfare facilities.
• Keep plots under construction tidy by all trades; walk round all plots daily to ensure there are no surplus materials lying about.
• Ensure all site waste is segregated and recycled following BDW group guidelines.
• Check show home gardens and public open spaces weekly and remove any rubbish that may have blown onto these areas.

Qualifications

• Enthusiastic self-starter able to use initiative while working unsupervised.
• Experience of working on large-volume domestic house-building sites.
