Why Join Us?

We value our people and offer a supportive, inclusive environment where you can thrive. Here’s what you’ll get in return:

• Supportive working environment with a range of best practice policies

🔧 What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll help maintain over 52,000 street lights and 8,000 signs and bollards across North Yorkshire. Key responsibilities include:

Groundworks & Excavation (Major Focus of the Role)

• Carrying out manual excavation for lighting columns and connection pits
• Reinstating highways using asphalt, flags, block paving and other materials
• Ensuring reinstatements meet quality and safety standards

Driving & HIAB Operations

• Operating LGV Class 2 vehicles
• Using HIAB equipment to assist with lifting and installing street lighting columns

Supporting Electrical Installation

• Assisting electricians on-site with installation and maintenance tasks
• Helping create safe working environments, including traffic management and site safety

✅ What We’re Looking For

• A current LGV Class 2 licence (or higher)
• Experience with HIAB equipment — or willingness to be trained
• Someone who is physically fit, enjoys outdoor, active work and is comfortable with excavation
• A team player with a safety-first mindset
• Experience in highways, groundworks or street lighting is an advantage but not essential

If your background includes construction, utilities, groundworks or similar physical work, this role will be a great fit.
