Job Description

Stonemason - Norfolk/Suffolk Border - Excellent package

Our client is the East of England Co-operative. They have asked Badger Associates to identify and attract an experienced Stonemason to join their established and successful team at H.L Perfitt in Diss, who use their 450 years of combined experience in stonemasonry to create bespoke monumental, burial and cremation memorials, as well as beautiful kitchen worktops and limestone bathrooms.

We're looking for someone to join the memorials team. As someone with experience of working with stone, you'll use your skills - supported by different manual and equipment-driven processes, to produce beautiful memorial masonry. You will also support the fitting and removal of memorials, so it's wise to expect some heavy manual handling exposure in the role.

As a Stonemason, you'll take great pride in the pieces you create and the knowledge that these will be displayed as fitting tributes for years to come.

Role Responsibility

• Prepare and produce memorial masonry products in line with client's brief / wishes
• Use different types of equipment (e.g. sandblaster) and manual methods (e.g. painting, hand-carving and etching) to transfer bespoke and standard designs on to various types of stone
• Produce draft drawings with precise measurements, where required
• Support with fitting or removal of memorials at location, where required
• Ensure safe working practices at all times

The Ideal Candidate

• Knowledge / experience of stonemasonry (such as carving and artwork) and memorial installation
• A hands-on and practical approach to work
• Effective interpersonal skills, able to communicate with internal stakeholders and clients / customers
• Team-player who is also able to work independently on their own initiative
• Attention to detail
• Commitment to working safely
• Full UK driving license

If you have installation experience with a BRAMM or NAMM Fixers License and / or experience with equipment (such as sandblasters and polishing machines) that would be great, but not essential.

Package Description

Alongside a competitive salary, we also offer enhanced employer pension contribution and holiday entitlement, as well as our colleague discount scheme (including 10% off in our Foodstores) - these are just a few benefits of working for us! Full details can be viewed on the 'Colleague benefits' section of our website.

You will benefit from our award-winning training helping you to achieve your true potential. Should you have your sights on career progression in the future, we've supported lots of our colleagues through Apprenticeship and other learning & development programmes.

Working Hours


We understand the importance of balancing work commitments with other activities and responsibilities, which is why we are happy to offer flexible working. We are always looking to find the right solutions to suit our colleagues and the business. Please indicate your availability within your application.
