Job Summary

Corrigenda is seeking a skilled, directly employed Multi-Skilled Builder to be the versatile backbone of our Hampshire County Council (HCC) delivery team.

  • Openings: Setting and securing external door frames, window frames, and lining kits ready for brickwork tie-ins.
  • Insulation & Fire-Stopping: Installing thermal insulation into cavities and cavity-stops, and applying fire-stopping materials to meet building regulations.
• Finishing & Making Good (Second Fix):
  • Plaster Boarding & Patching: Tacking plasterboard to walls/ceilings and performing plaster patching or rendering after structural modifications.
  • Basic Joinery: Fitting internal doors, ironmongery, skirtings, architraves, and basic kitchen/vanity units in schools or offices.
  • Component Fitting: Installing UPVC fascias, soffits, guttering, and minor roof tiling repairs.
• Health, Safety & Compliance:
  • Regulatory adherence: Executing all works in accordance with the Health and Safety at Work Act, COSHH, and local authority building controls.
  • Safe Environment: Maintaining clean, safe working zones, especially in live public environments or schools.
  • Safeguarding: Strictly adhering to safeguarding policies, remaining visible and identifiable via uniform and ID badges at all times.
• Out-of-Hours Call-Out: Participate in the company's on-call rota and attend emergency call-outs outside normal hours, including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays, as required.
