Job description

It takes many highly skilled people to build a house, but they all have one thing in common: the ability to work as a team.

• Checking the quality of material delivered to site.
• The storage and distribution of materials on site.
• To monitor safe access and walkways.
• To ensure skips are used correctly and tipping skips are emptied in the correct skips to help with our waste management.
• To maintain a clean and safe site at all times.

Requirements:

• Hold a FLT Licence
• Experience in a previous role as a Forklift Truck Driver / Telehandler / Forklift Operator.
• Effective communication skills, and good time management
• Self-motivated and proactive with an enthusiastic work ethic.
