Precision Lifting: Safely distributing materials to various trades, including high-reach lifts and navigating evolving site terrain.

Plant Stewardship: Taking full ownership of the machine's daily checks, maintenance logs, and cleanliness to ensure zero downtime over the 2-year duration.

Safety & Compliance: Working closely with the Site Management team to uphold the highest safety standards on a flagship project.

What We're Looking For

NPORS or CPCS Card: A valid card with the CSCS logo is a non-negotiable requirement.

Reliability: Since this is a 2-year contract, we are looking for someone seeking long-term stability and who has a track record of excellent attendance.

Technical Skill: Extensive experience in machine operation, specifically on busy commercial or residential sites.

Communication: Able to work effectively with site managers and ground crews to ensure smooth operations.

Right to Work: Must have a valid right to work in the UK.

Why Work With Search?

Guaranteed Longevity: Secure your income with a project scheduled for 2 years of work.

Flexible Payment: Weekly, on-time payments every Friday. While the headline rate is CIS, we also offer PAYE and Umbrella options to suit your preference.

Local Expertise: Work through our dedicated construction desk that specialises in North East and Northumberland projects.

Career Partnership: We don't just find you a job; we manage your placement to ensure you are supported throughout the entire 2-year duration.
