CO Home Improvements are a group of six retail brands operating across the North of England and Cumbria, forming part of the £60 million turnover Conservatory Outlet Group. As established leaders in the design and installation of conservatories, orangeries, windows, doors, and modern living spaces, we are committed to transforming homes with innovative, high-quality products that combine striking design with everyday functionality.

Our approach is rooted in delivering exceptional customer service. Our employees are the heart of the business, and we invest in great people by offering ongoing career development and training opportunities. If you are passionate about making a difference and want to be part of a team that values your ideas and hard work, we would love to hear from you.

To support our ongoing business growth, we have an opportunity for Grounder Investigator or General Builder to perform test digs before the building of a conservatory or extension, maintain historic builds and assist building managers with other duties where required across sites in the region. Other responsibilities include:

• Dig pilot holes in various places to confirm ground conditions and report back the results, including photos and detailed findings
• Check soil/site ground make up, suitability and advise if piling required
• Point, lay flags/chippings, screed and patch a floor
• Identify and check on existing drainage runs and report this
• Locate any other problems on site that may affect the build prior to starting, for example trees (type, size, distance to proposed foundations etc.)
• Leave locations surrounding works exactly as they were found so the customer is presented with no work to do in respect of tidying or cleaning the property or surrounding area
