Anyone ever moved over to the construction industry?

Hey folks,

I’m just wondering if there are any drivers/ex-drivers out there who have made the move into the construction world?
I’ve been looking for my next step in my career and a move away from driving and I’ve been directed by a colleague towards getting tickets for plant equipment (telehandlers, dumpers etc) and I’m just trying to gather some practical, real life advice on the best way to do that.
Any help welcome, cheers.

My uncle from Bristol was looking in to that as apparently there’s lots of construction work going on in south Wales so the daily commute was worth the better money.

Maybe try get driving job with plant hire company. As some will train you how to drive the equipment ie dumper trucks telehandler to drive them on and off the truck when delivering to site etc.
Is a foot in the door make contacts
