TLB Operator (Civil Works)

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

This post is Prospecton-based, with most of your time spent at a plant hire company. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Operator certificate for the machine class, from an accredited training provider
