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.
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
The easiest way in is on a tractor as a lot of sites need you to have class 1, once you’re on site you can work out what machines interest you. If you look up flannery boot camp you can get the cpcs tickets for free, Hs2 is probably the largest employer at the moment but sizewell and the lower Thames crossing will be kicking off soon.
