Grader Operator (Road Construction)

The quarry and aggregate supplier in Brackenfell needs an operator who looks after the machine as well as the job. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Brackenfell-based, with most of your time spent at a quarry and aggregate supplier. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Load tipper trucks without spillage or overloading
• Backfill and compact around pipes in layers
• Do the pre-start checklist on your machine before the first bucket
• Cut and trim road layers to level with the grader
• Watch for underground services and follow the banksman's signals

• Willing to work on projects outside your home town
• Operator certificate for the machine class, from an accredited training provider
• Medical certificate of fitness for operating mobile plant
• At least 2 years operating the machine on construction sites
• Can read grade pegs and understand cut and fill
• Valid Code 10 licence for moving machines on public roads

• Basic plant maintenance or mechanical knowledge
• PrDP for tipper or lowbed work

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

• You will likely do a practical test on the machine. Do the walk-around check out loud. It shows you work safely.
• Put your operator certificate numbers on the CV. Site safety files need them before you start.
