Skilled Roadworker – Trunk Road Operations
Location: Perth
Category: Operations
Contract: Full Time, Permanent, 40 hours per week, Monday – Friday. Nightshift, Overtime and Standby Rota
BEAR Scotland is a leading provider of road maintenance and management services, proudly responsible for the upkeep and enhancement of the country’s vital trunk road network — including bridges and key infrastructure — across some of the most scenic and challenging terrain in the UK.
Our Northwest Trunk Road Unit spans over 1,422km of roadways, stretching from the rugged beauty of Thurso and Wick in the far north, down to the rugged Cowal peninsula in Argyll and Bute. It connects communities from Uig on the Isle of Skye to the historic cities of Perth and Stirling, offering a unique opportunity to work across a landscape that’s as diverse as it is inspiring.
We have an exciting opportunity for experienced roadworkers to join our existing team on a full-time basis.
If you’re a capable, safety‑focused operative looking for very competitive rates, consistent hours, overtime and long‑term job security, this role is for you.
Roles and Responsibilities:
Installing and removing temporary signs, cones and barriers
General Carriageway maintenance and repairs
Preparation, laying, compaction and removal of materials
Hand patching with hot materials
Drainage works – excavation, pipe laying and kerbing
Scrub cutting and vegetation control
Installing and maintaining road furniture
Operating power tools, small plant and machinery
Driving company vehicles, including tractors and vehicles with attachments
Completing basic paperwork and fault reports
Working safely at all times – protecting yourself, your team and the public
Taking part in emergency and winter maintenance standby
Winter duties including fitting blades and gritters, driving gritters and manual salting when required
Standby Requirement – You must be able to reach the Perth depot within 30 minutes when on standby. This is non-negotiable due to emergency requirements.
Knowledge, Skills and Experience:
Full UK Driving Licence – essential
LGV Class C – desirable
Tickets for plant, traffic management or H&S are an advantage
Proven experience in roadworks, highways or construction
A strong, practical understanding of health & safety
Willingness to be trained and work across different tasks
Comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions
Experience using small plant and tools
We’re looking for operatives who turn up, work hard, work safe and get the job done right.
Why BEAR?
At the heart of our success is our people — talented, innovative, and dedicated individuals who drive everything we do. We’re committed to attracting and retaining top talent by offering a supportive and rewarding work environment.
In return, we provide:
A competitive salary – Overtime, Nightshift and Standby Rates
Training and upskilling opportunities
Generous holiday entitlement
