As you develop your skills, your training will include:
Assisting with borehole drilling, trial pits, soil sampling and in-situ testing.
Collecting laboratory samples and completing accurate site records.
Driving company vehicles and learning how to safely identify underground services.
Working in accordance with RAMS, risk assessments and company procedures.

Working Hours & Travel
The standard working week is 40 hours, plus overtime opportunities.
Start and finish times will vary depending on customer requirements and site locations. The role involves a significant amount of travel, and some days may involve early starts to travel to a site, with an earlier finish once the day's work is completed.

  • £14.50 per hour starting rate , reviewed as training and competency are demonstrated.
  • Overtime opportunities.
  • Full training and ongoing development.
  • Clear career progression opportunities.
