Site Upkeep: Use the loader and manual tools to keep the yard clean, manage spillages, and ensure a hazard-free environment.
Team Collaboration: Communicate effectively via radio with the Batch Plant Manager to prioritize tasks based on the daily pour schedule.
Requirements & Qualifications
We need reliable operators who can hit the ground running. To be successful, you will need:
Licenses: A current National Heavy Equipment Ticket (LL Class) and a general construction Induction (White Card).
Experience: Proven experience operating loaders in a high-volume environment (quarrying, civil construction, or concrete experience is highly regarded).
