Medical certificate of fitness for operating mobile plant
Valid Code 10 licence for moving machines on public roads

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Umhlanga; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

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