Job Description

Real machine hours on real projects, with the quarry and aggregate supplier working in and around Brakpan. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The site is in Brakpan; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What your day looks like

  • Do the pre-start checklist on your machine before the first bucket
  • Load tipper trucks without spillage or overloading
  • Park the machine on level ground and lock it when you knock off
  • Compact layers with the roller until density tests pass
  • Backfill and compact around pipes in layers
  • Cut and trim road layers to level with the grader
  • Watch for underground services and follow the banksman's signals

Must-haves

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

Helpful, not essential

  • Certificates on more than one machine type
  • GPS machine control experience on excavators or graders

On offer

  • Camp accommodation or a living-out allowance on remote sites
  • Travel home paid at the end of each site shift cycle
  • Overtime paid on all hours past 45 a week

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): medical certificate of fitness plus driver's licence and PrDP if you have one.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • You will likely do a practical test on the machine. Do the walk-around check out loud. It shows you work safely.
  • List each machine with its size, for example "20-ton excavator, 4 years". Plant managers match you to the machine they need.
