About the Role
:
This is a practical, hands‑on position where no two days look the same. You’ll be part of a small, supportive team that keeps our vehicles moving and our sites running smoothly. The role combines driving, basic vehicle care, and general site support, with some office admin to help keep everything organised behind the scenes.
You’ll spend most of your time out on site or on the move, but you’ll also help with supporting the team with day‑to‑day office duties when needed. It’s a great fit for someone who’s comfortable switching between physical work and basic admin, and who takes pride in keeping things running efficiently.
You’ll have plenty of independence, so we’re looking for someone who’s confident managing their own workload, spotting what needs doing, and stepping in without being asked. If you enjoy variety, like staying active, and prefer a role where you’re trusted to get on with things, you’ll feel right at home.
No previous experience is required - we’ll provide full training. What matters most is reliability, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn new skills across both practical and administrative tasks.
