Job Description

Real machine hours on real projects, with the pipeline and trenching company working in and around Kimberley. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

  • Record machine hours and fuel on the daily plant sheet
  • Grease the machine daily and report leaks or damage straight away
  • Watch for underground services and follow the banksman's signals
  • Do the pre-start checklist on your machine before the first bucket

Must-haves

  • Good depth perception and no history of machine accidents
  • Can read grade pegs and understand cut and fill
  • Willing to work on projects outside your home town
  • Operator certificate for the machine class, from an accredited training provider

Nice if you have

  • Basic plant maintenance or mechanical knowledge
  • GPS machine control experience on excavators or graders

On offer

  • Refresher training on new machines
  • 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. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: driver's licence and PrDP if you have one plus operator certificates for every machine you drive.
  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 recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Kimberley; 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.

How to stand out

  • 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.
