Site Operative/Material Controller in Wells

What you'll be doing? Within the Construction environment, think about buying materials, managing big projects, ensuring health and safety and customer service. You will work across the UK on some 400 developments in both towns and rural areas, each posing unique challenges. Projects range from new builds on brownfield sites to adapting existing buildings such as old factories or disused hospitals. You will bring fresh ideas and imagination, as well as the commercial ability to manage people, budgets and costs. Reporting to the Site Manager, you will ensure 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 all on‑site signage including sale signs, plot signs and safety signs and ensure they 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 in line with BDW procedures and that it is maintained to the last possible moment, notifying the Site Manager of any removal or abuse. Ensure compound and welfare facilities are maintained. Ensure all plots under construction are kept tidy by all trades. Walk round all plots under construction daily and ensure no surplus materials lie about. Ensure all waste across the site 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.
