General Operative ​/ Labourer

About The Role

We are looking to create a dedicated Site Response & Maintenance Team to support our operational sites across the business. This team will act as a practical response group, carrying out repairs, maintenance, small construction works and general site improvement activity across our buildings, yards, depots and operational facilities.

The purpose of the team is simple: to keep our sites safe, compliant, well maintained and able to operate as normal. This will include responding to actions raised following EA visits, audits, inspections and internal site reviews, as well as supporting general repairs, yard improvements and handyman activity across the business.

The team will play an important role in protecting business continuity, reducing reliance on external contractors and making sure that issues are dealt with quickly, safely and to a good standard.

• Preparing work areas
• Moving materials
• Supporting concreting, brickwork, groundwork and repair activity
• General labouring across sites
• Cleaning and making good after works are completed
• Assisting the fitter/welder, machine driver and tradesperson as required
• Helping with general maintenance and handyman tasks

The right people would need to be hard‑working, reliable, safety‑conscious and comfortable working outdoors across busy operational sites.

Our sites need to remain safe, compliant and operational. When EA visits, audits or inspections identify issues, the business needs a team that can respond quickly and get the work done properly. At the same time, every operational site has ongoing repair, maintenance and improvement needs. Buildings, yards, welfare areas, workshops, gates, concrete, fencing and infrastructure all need to be kept in good condition to support BAU.

This team gives the business a practical internal solution. It reduces delay. It reduces reliance on external contractors. It improves ownership of site standards. It supports compliance. Most importantly, it helps keep our people, sites and operations moving safely every day.

Panda is committed to attracting and retaining a skilled and diverse workforce that reflects the communities in which we operate and the people we serve. (DE&I Policy Statement)
