We’re Craddock — a bespoke, high-end domestic construction company working on some of Hampshire’s most interesting and carefully crafted building projects.

To begin with, this role will be mainly based in Alresford, Hampshire, on a substantial project that’s due to run for several months, possibly longer. From time to time, you may also be required to work on other sites within roughly a 45-minute radius of Winchester.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Assisting tradesmen and the site manager with daily tasks

• Keeping the site tidy, safe, and well-organised

• Helping with deliveries and materials

• Carrying out general labouring and site duties

• Occasionally opening up or locking up site

• Acting as a banksman or traffic marshal when needed

• Supporting with all aspects of construction work as required

Who This Role Would Suit:

This could be perfect if you’ve:
• Just left college and want a job where you can work with your hands, be active, and learn on the job
• Got a couple of years before deciding on your long-term career and want to do something practical and rewarding in the meantime
• Always been interested in building, making, or fixing things — perhaps as a stepping stone into a career in construction
• Or, you’re already experienced in site work and want to be part of a team that works on unique, high-end projects

You’ll Need To Be:

• Physically fit and happy working outdoors in all conditions

• Organised, dependable, and proactive

• Confident speaking to tradesmen, site managers, and clients

• Punctual and willing to get stuck in with whatever needs doing

• Able to travel to Alresford and other sites within a 45-minute radius of Winchester

• Able to get to site independently — your own transport is essential

Bonus Points If You Have:

• Previous site or manual work experience

• Construction-related qualifications or tickets (e.g. banksman, CSCS card)

• Experience with basic site tools or machinery

• IT literacy — helpful for those who might want to progress

Why Join Us?

At Craddock, we build beautiful homes — and we believe in building great careers too. The Construction Site Assistant & Enabler role is more than just a junior position. Done well, it has a real impact on our projects and can lead to future opportunities in site supervision or management.
