The posting
Who are we?
You've probably seen our work without even realising it!
Bauer Media Outdoor is behind many of the adverts, bus shelters and digital screens you see every day, from busy high streets and shopping centres to roads, transport hubs and local neighbourhoods.
We're one of the UK's leading Out of Home media and infrastructure companies, operating more than 33,000 sites nationwide and looking after nearly 22,000 bus shelters. With teams across the UK, we combine advertising with the delivery and maintenance of public infrastructure that communities rely on every day.
We're part of Bauer Media Group, one of the world's largest privately owned media groups, with a rich heritage in media and a commitment to developing our people.
Are you an experienced construction worker with a HGV Class 2 licence looking for your next challenge?
Are you NRSWA accredited, like working outdoors, and have some experience in simple groundworks and installation?
If you’re someone who can learn on the job and turn your hand to various manual tasks, then this role could be what you are looking for.
What will the role involve?
You’ll be working as part of a two-person crew, spending most of your day breaking up ground and replacing / installing new digital units and bus shelters for our local communities. You’ll have access to a HGV Class 2 vehicle to help you do this.
This role will involve travelling to sites (roadsides and public areas) in Gateshead and the surrounding areas, plus occasional travel further afield and some night working dependent upon business needs - sufficient notice will be given with lodgings and reasonable overnight expenses provided.
You’ll be required to commute to and from the St Helens depot independently and at times you may be required to work a night shift which will be paid at a premium rate.
It’s a physically demanding role which requires you to work at height, mainly using a small step ladder, so you’ll need to be a team player and watch/help out your crew partner.
What will you be doing?
- Transport digital units from the depot to the installation site via a HGV truck.
- Break ground and install digital units.
- Replace component level parts on digital units.
- Follow the Construction Design and Management regulations 2015.
- Make sure traffic management is in place before starting work with segregation/prevention measures to prevent unauthorised people within your working area.

What’s in it for you?
- Salary £39,000 per annum
- Quarterly bonus scheme
- Fully expensed company vehicle, for business use only, saving on commuting costs
- All tools, uniform and PPE provided
- 25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays
