We're looking for a Trade Assistant to work alongside our stonemasons onsite, helping keep installations moving and jobs running smoothly.
This is a hands-on role suited to someone who is practical, reliable and takes pridein doing a good job.
You'll be working closely with our stonemasons, so being able to take direction, think ahead and be part of a team is important.
You don't need to know everything. We're a niche trade; we can teach you how we do things. What matters to us is how you see things. Are you the type who sees what needs doing and gets stuck into it?
What you'll be doing
- Helping lift and position stone
- Preparing tools and equipment for each stage of the job
- Reading plans and understanding what needs to happen next
- Keeping one step ahead of the stonemason
- Keeping the work area clean and presentable
- Communicating professionally with clients when required
- Collecting slabs and materials from suppliers
- Following our safety and quality procedures
- A positive Trade Assistant becomes part of the momentum of the job. If the mason is about to polish, you're getting the polisher ready. If they're doing a join, you're preparing the next area.
We're looking for someone who
- Turns up, works smart and can be relied on
- Has good practical skills and common sense
- Can take direction and use initiative
- Current manual driver's licence
- Able to safely perform the physical requirements of the role
- White Card
Forklift or machinery experience would be highly regarded.
