About the Role
Have you always had that knack for practical, hands-on tasks? Are you often curious about how things are made and why things work? If so, perhaps working as an operative in a quarry, cement or asphalt site is your career call. You will be loading trucks and driving some of the large yellow machinery such as a loading shovel.
- Must be over 18 for this role, due to insurance purposes.
- As an apprentice operative, you’ll support the vital need to uphold quarry and cement site production
- You’ll be loading trucks with rocks, stone, sand, and gravel and driving some of the large yellow machinery such as a loading shovel
- You will be maintaining machinery such as the loading shovel by ensuring it is well greased, dust free and reporting any defects
- You will get involved in maintaining a tidy site to keep everyone safe and ensuring machinery doesn’t get damaged
If you’re one to tiptoe around puddles with trepidation, maybe this role isn’t for you. You won’t be spending every day in a clean, corporate office swiveling on an office chair! If you have a natural affinity with the great outdoors, in all weathers, then now we’re talking!
- There are opportunities to train to drive and use lots of types of plant equipment, such as diggers and loading shovels
- Other opportunities in the future could be supervisory and team leading roles
About the Training
- You will complete a Level 2 Material Processing Plant Operator apprenticeship qualification, over a period of 18 months.
