Experienced Groundworker
Picture this: Working outside in the glorious UK countryside as part of a small but perfectly formed team. Fresh air, practical work and the satisfaction of seeing a project develop from the ground up. Physical graft, plenty of variety and no two days quite the same.
If this sounds appealing, please read on.
We are looking for an experienced Groundworker to join us, working within our specialist renewable energy team. Our office is located in Northampton, but you’ll be field-based (often, literally) working throughout the UK on utility-scale solar farm projects, helping deliver specialist end-to-end security infrastructure.
This is a key role supporting large-scale renewable energy developments and delivering essential groundwork activities across our project sites.
Day-to-day, you’ll be involved in practical site activities including excavation support, trench preparation, ducting installation, reinstatement works and general groundworks activities required to support our installation teams.
You’ll need to be practically minded and not afraid of long days or the worst of the British weather — but it’s your appetite for being a key player within a committed, can-do and collaborative team that is vital.
CTSG is led by our values and by a team of highly experienced, energetic and entrepreneurial engineers. We have a big heart and huge ambition — but we will never compromise the fantastic reputation we have gained. Sharing our dedication to delighting clients is therefore a must.
We’ll also expect you to be solutions-oriented, respectful and reliable with excellent communication skills, fantastic attention to detail and a commitment to safe working practices.
At CTSG you’ll never be “just an employee”. Our team comes first and we genuinely care about every person who works with us.
If you like the thought of building a career with us, we’ll support your progression and encourage you to develop with the business as we continue to grow.
We don’t care what you look like or what your hobbies are (although if you’re interested, our current team includes self-confessed geeks, petrol heads, golfers, hikers and more…all united by a love of pizza).
What matters is your readiness to embrace our values and contribute positively to a company riding a change curve.
As open-minded as we are, there are a few non-negotiables:
- Proven experience in groundworks
- Full UK driving licence
- Willingness to travel and stay away throughout the working week
- Comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions
- Strong work ethic and flexible approach
- Reliable team player with excellent communication skills
- CSCS card preferred
Our projects are located throughout the UK and regular travel with overnight stays is part of the role — but trust us, we’ll look after you. Travel pay, expenses and overtime are provided where appropriate.
On top of working in a friendly, highly supportive and fun environment, you can expect so much more.
We offer a competitive starting salary of £30,000-36,000 per annum depending upon your precise level of experience and if you flourish, we’ll ensure you’re never underpaid. We reward people according to contribution and believe great attitudes deserve recognition.
You’ll also join a progressive business that values wellbeing, balance and celebrating success together. There’s plenty more on offer too, including a bonus day off on us to celebrate your Birthday, and membership to our Healthcare Cash-back scheme.
If you like the thought of working with us, we’d love to hear from you. Please send your CV and a quick cover letter telling us why.
CTSG is an equal opportunities employer committed to a culture of equity and inclusion. Please let us know if you require any support during the selection process.
