Are you a Yard/ Stock Operative looking for a stable, Monday-Friday role with consistent hours and overtime opportunities? Do you want to work for a well-established company in the utility industry that offers training, progression, and long-term security

On offer is the opportunity to join a leading contractor within the utilities industry, delivering high-quality services across specialised coatings, maintenance, and new projects.
