We are looking to recruit Seasonal Waterway Operatives / Bridge Operator for the Gloucester Sharpness Canal.
The duties include:
– Manually operating hand-wound bridges to allow safe passage of boats through then closing up behind them. – Daily checks on the bridge to check safe operation – Communicating via phone between bridges as part of a wider team – This is considered a manual labour job but I have volunteers in their 70s doing it, so it’s not hard work. – Full training is given and typically candidates are trained/assessed within a matter of days. – Full PPE given – Good customer experience required as they’ll be customer facing. – Hours per day are 8am-6pm and you would be expected to infill the rota, so likely 3-5 days a week. – No set lunch/break times but there’s usually plenty of time during shift for meals and breaks. – Looking for immediate start and the season runs until 31st October.
