Skilled Operative Groundworker in Whitby

At JN Bentley Ltd, we are looking for enthusiastic and motivated Skilled Operatives who live in and around Selby area, with work across the wider region.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a solid background in civil engineering and groundworks to join a well-established and growing business. You will have a proactive approach to work, health, and safety, with experience working within the water industry and carrying out general civil works, including concreting, deep drainage and pipe laying.

The Role

Reporting to the Lead Hand and Site Management, you will work as part of a site team delivering groundworks and civil engineering activities across construction sites predominantly within the water industry.

Your role will include carrying out day-to-day site activities safely and efficiently, contributing to the delivery of works to programme, and maintaining high standards of quality, productivity, and health & safety.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
