  • Conduct routine checks and basic maintenance of plant, equipment, and PPE
  • Follow site instructions, safe systems of work, and company procedures at all times
  • Maintain a clean and safe working environment
  • Report any safety concerns, incidents, defects, or near misses promptly
  • Work flexibly across different sites and shifts, including night work where required

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise
Essential
  • Good teamwork and communication skills
  • Positive attitude with a willingness to learn
  • Commitment to working safely and following procedures
  • Flexible approach to working hours and site locations
Desirable
  • CSCS card
  • Full UK driving licence
  • Previous experience in surfacing, construction, highways, or a similar environment
Training and Development
Full training will be provided, offering opportunities to develop new skills, gain industry-recognised qualifications, and build a long-term career within Breedon.

  • A tailored, competitive salary.
  • Company Pension Scheme.
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Share Saver Scheme participation.
  • Company Life Assurance Scheme.
  • Access to our Employee Assistance Programme.
