That’s just my opinion,
Everybody has a different view and I would suggest you take each view with a pinch of salt and make you own opinion,
I’ve expressed before on here I would never work there again I’d rather be jobless,
But then I’ve met some of the nicest people I know who work there /...
Not sure how long you have worked there,
Colas did a restructure last year and changed the whole recruitment team and process and tbh it’s been crap ever since they are non responsive and generally can’t give you any answers when you do manage to get in touch, kind of sums up the whole Hr team...
Don’t worry to much about the GCSE side of things if you don’t have them you will be able to do them along side the train drivers apprenticeship at the high speed collage,
It’s just a few small assignments to get the grades required,
The JD role is Yard based but depending on the yard you are...
Id make your own mind up if you get the job there everyone has different opinions
Personally I enjoyed working with some of the people (drivers and some office staff)
I wouldn’t ever return to Colas as an employee but that’s just my view,
like I said everybody is different,
Working for Colas Mobile means you can travel anywhere,
Colas drivers give 1 hour in there own time ( mobile with a van ) either side of the shift so could work 14 hours days,
They also have a lot of lodging turns
Depends on what you do during your JD training,
Some people have only been doing the short course
some are doing full rules because the yards they will be working in require them to be on the mainline
Well at least it’s some positive then that you have done good and everything was good on the interview side,
Just try and stay positive and it will happen in time
They may not have reviewed the interviews with the roles being on hold,
Worth asking the question though just so you know and also so you know when they do become live again you’ve ticketed every box
