Groundworker level 2

A groundworker is a construction professional who prepares areas in readiness for, during and after construction has taken place.

They carry out a host of operations to enable super-structure construction to commence. These tasks would include the initial site strip, setting out of foundations, excavating the foundations, concreting and drainage along with sub-structure to roads and such like.
