Who are Pickerings
Pickerings is a leading supplier of high-quality temporary buildings. We design and supply solutions to a diverse customer base, including schools needing extra classrooms, commercial businesses needing additional office space and construction sites needing a complex of offices and welfare facilities.
The Role
As part of the depot’s operations team, you’ll primarily be responsible for ensuring our towable welfare units are cleaned and maintained before delivering them to customer's sites using a pickup.
Cleaning will include all surfaces, walls and sanitaryware and maintenance may include minor repairs to walls and doors, replacement of plumbing and electrical fixtures and fittings and preparation of external walls in readiness for painting.
Additionally, you provide cover for the depot’s three HGV drivers. When undertaking HGV driving you will be allocated to a modern Volvo or Scania truck with attached FASSI 660 lorry loader and will be responsible for the accurate delivery and collection of a range of modular buildings, portable welfare facilities and offices up to a size of 32ft x 10ft (9m x 3m).
About You
You’ll need a full driving licence for manual vehicles with the authority to tow coupled with practical experience ideally gained in a property maintenance or caretaking role.
You will also hold a Class 1 / C+E licence and preferably have wagon and drag experience. You will also hold a valid Digital Tachograph Card and Driver CPC. Having ALLMI Lorry Loader accreditation D1+E Hook (or equivalent) would be advantageous.
As you will be delivering to client sites, you must have effective customer service skills and be able to conduct yourself with the utmost professionalism.
Our work is physically demanding and takes place outdoors, so you should be prepared to be exposed to extremes of weather.
What we offer
In addition to an hourly rate of £14.50 (plus a £35 daily supplement when HGV driving) you’ll get:
- 33 days holidays, inclusive of public holidays and a festive shut-down period
