Lorry Loader

Recruiting Now! Class 1/ Class 2 Hiab Driver with Hook Experience

Due to our success and expansion, we are now looking to expand our senior lorry loader team. We are interested in hearing from you if you are an experienced crane lifting operator or Appointed Person / Slinger Signaller / Banksman / Lift plans/ HIAB driver / Operator.

All of our lifting team are confident and capable of operating HIAB / Palfinger / or similar to carry out the following types of work;

  • Heras fencing
  • Pallets
  • Hot tubs
  • Abnormal & Wide Loads
  • Unbalanced loads
  • Pillars, Poles, Metal structures etc

You will be familiar and capable of double stacking containers and cabins – so a fear of heights is not ideal!
Hook lifting experience is also essential (Grab lifting alone will not be enough experience for our requirement)

We have excellent staff retention and can offer full uniform, 20 days holiday plus all bank holidays.

Early starts, some later or occasional over nights or weekends (at enhanced rates) will be expected – so you must be flexible and willing to spend some nights in the cab when required.

You will have a sound geographical knowledge of the UK and have worked as a professional HIAB operator /driver.

The vehicle you are driving is Class 2 but may often be attached a trailer; therefore a Class 1 licence is preferred but not essential for this role.

It’s not just about the driving, either… we expect all of our team to be personable, well-presented and focused on providing the best possible customer service at all times.
