🌟Job opportunity🌟

With additional workload we are needing someone to help with our projects full time/ part time as a labourer. This may suit a self employed person or could be put on the books.

We are a small but very busy business local to Grantown on Spey and carry out work in the surrounding areas. Work includes fencing, groundwork’s and some landscaping for both agricultural and domestic clients. This means there is a good variety of jobs to go to and getting to work in some stunning places.

Experience in fencing/groundworks preferred however not essential if there is a willingness to learn and a positive ‘can do’ attitude. This role would possibly suit a school leaver.

A professional friendly manner is a must.

A good level of fitness and ability to work in all weathers is required. These are full days and there are days where you will get a fair workout! A safe use of machinery and equipment is a must but training would be available for the right candidate.

Own transport to jobs/meeting place an advantage but not essential as could pick up in Grantown.

Rate of pay negotiable and based on experience/suitability. If you come on with little/ no experience, as you become more capable the pay/package would be reflected.

Any interest and if you would like to know more information message the page and I’ll get back to you.

If you wish to apply please send an email with your CV and ideally two references to [email protected]

Any shares would be greatly appreciated!

A few drainage jobs completed recently💧 A couple properties with blocked rain water systems so required new soak aways and pipe work upgrade, chips reinstated like I hadn’t even been there. Also replaced a broken slab with a proper manhole cover, should make it a lot safer and keep the system clean from debris.

Any drainage/septic works and repairs please get it touch.

A project we carried out on behalf of Cairngorm National Park in the spring time. Installing new self closing pedestrian gates on a section of the speyside way from Cromdale to the end of the national park boundary. These gates make the way more accessible for people by replacing the old chain gates.

Gates were fabricated by Ritchie Agricultural after an enquiry and these gates have since been added to their stock list.

We will be back out in the next few months to install some more and repair some fencing on the route.

Some pictures from a recent project at the new Rothiemurchus dog park which will be opening soon. We were asked to carry out the fencing on this project and given the specifications by the customer to make a dog proof area.

Nearly 500m of deer fencing with rabbit netting dug in and attached full height and a roller top wire.

Any fencing requirements you have please feel free to get in contact with us.
