Job Opportunities

Training

CWO is committed to the concept of training. All employees need to be trained to carry out their duties effectively.

It is an integral part of every Supervisor and Manager’s job to identify the training needs of their employees, and then develop cost effective plans for ensuring the training tasks are in place.

CSCS Accreditation

CWO workforce is 100% CSCS registered.

In addition semi-skilled operatives are working towards NVQ level 2, Trowel Occupations in Stone Fixing.

Apprenticeship Scheme

CWO recruits one or two apprentices a year (dependent on workspace available) working towards NVQ Level 3 in Banker Masonry. Training programmes are balanced between workshop and site based training, so that training is given in all aspects of stonemasonry. Periods of training are carried out at a stonemasonry college.

CWO interview for the apprentice(s) in May, and the chosen candidate(s) will spend several months prior to starting the apprenticeship itself working out on site to get a feel for the industry and gaining some site experience before entering the workshop environment.
