Job Description

Due to continued growth, EDS are looking for experienced Civils Operatives with trade skills to supplement our marine & civil structural repair teams.

We have a pipeline of exciting projects and are looking for extra resources to fulfil existing contract obligations. The work involves conducting civil structural maintenance within difficult environments such as river walls, embankments, bridges, culverts and tunnels.

Our engineering work is often conducted within confined spaces so any experience of this would be an advantage, otherwise training will be provided.

Any plant operator tickets would be an advantage, although the role would be to work hands on within the team, jumping on and off the machine when required, not operating a machine full time.

We are looking for motivated and energetic individuals with relevant skills and experience of civil construction trades and sites. The applicant must be content to work physically on site within expected H&S standards, they should be confident to work in water, from boats and in confined space environments. Please be aware that the work can, at times, require a large amount of physical effort due to the restricted locations and lack of access for plant and any applicants should be aware of this.

The applicant will need to be flexible to meet the needs of travelling to/from sites to meet the needs of our clients. We are looking for candidates who are happy to work away from home/travel as needed for projects on both short and medium term basis. Usually this will be Monday - Friday only, but flexibility of the candidate will be a huge advantage.
