Excavator Operator (20-Ton, Bulk Earthworks)

You'll move earth, dig trenches and shape roads for the quarry and aggregate supplier in Mokopane. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

You'll be based at a quarry and aggregate supplier in Mokopane. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Dig trenches for pipes and cables to the depth and grade set by the surveyor
• Grease the machine daily and report leaks or damage straight away
• Backfill and compact around pipes in layers
• Do the pre-start checklist on your machine before the first bucket
• Compact layers with the roller until density tests pass

• At least 2 years operating the machine on construction sites
• Good depth perception and no history of machine accidents
• Willing to work on projects outside your home town
• Operator certificate for the machine class, from an accredited training provider
• Valid Code 10 licence for moving machines on public roads
• Can read grade pegs and understand cut and fill

• Camp accommodation or a living-out allowance on remote sites
• Refresher training on new machines
• Overtime paid on all hours past 45 a week

• List each machine with its size, for example "20-ton excavator, 4 years". Plant managers match you to the machine they need.
• Put your operator certificate numbers on the CV. Site safety files need them before you start.
