This role will involve operating a range of plant across civil works, trenching, lifting, materials handling and transport support.

Your duties will include:

  • Excavating for footings, cast-in plates and hold-downs
  • Lifting and placing building modules
  • Lifting and positioning wall and roof panels
  • Placement of tanks and containers

  • Experience operating around active trade crews
  • Strong understanding of safe lifting and materials handling practices
  • Ability to complete daily plant inspections and servicing
  • A safety-focused and reliable approach to work
This role involves a significant amount of precision lifting and placement of building components, so operators with experience beyond traditional bulk earthworks will be highly regarded.

Multi-skilled operators ticketed and experienced across all required machines will be given preference.

  • Current WA HR Driver's Licence – mandatory, no exceptions
  • Excavator VOC or Unit of Competency – RIIMPO320
