The successful candidate will play a crucial role in the material handling operations, ensuring the safe and efficient movement of building supplies, palletised goods, and structural components across a busy, multi-tiered site.

• Work collaboratively with slingers/signallers to ensure safe load manoeuvring, adhering strictly to lifting plans and site-specific safety regulations at all times.
• Maintain excellent awareness of the site environment, including overhead obstructions, ground conditions, and pedestrian traffic, to ensure a safe working zone.
• Assist with general site housekeeping, ensuring the plant equipment and storage areas are kept tidy and organised to promote site safety and efficiency.

• A valid, in-date CPCS Blue Card (Competent Operator) or NPORS certification for Telescopic Handler is absolutely essential. Cards must be presented at registration.
• Proven, recent experience operating telehandlers on busy construction sites, preferably within a London or major urban environment.
• A strong, demonstrable understanding of health and safety legislation relating to plant operations, including LOLER and PUWER.
• Excellent communication skills, a reliable attitude, and the ability to work effectively as part of a team. Own PPE (hard hat, hi-vis, safety boots) is required.
