• Regional and nationwide deliveries
• Wide load experience preferred
• Occasional nights out when required

• HIAB experience and valid HIAB certification preferred

If the qualification is what is missing

For the right candidate we are willing to provide HIAB training if you currently hold an HGV licence but do not have HIAB certification. If you have ambitions to progress to larger Class 1 vehicles we are also happy to support further training and development, helping you gain the necessary qualifications and experience alongside our existing team.

Most of our drivers and crane operators are ALLMI trained and CPCS qualified, several hold Rail Track PTS and we are LINK Up members. The cranes are worked by remote control, so you stand where you can see the load rather than sitting in a seat behind it.

How we train and what we are accredited for

For example: Class 1, HIAB, ALLMI, CPCS.

I am happy for Nortons Hiab Services to hold these details so they can consider my application. *
