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. It is the single most important skill – nothing would get built at all, let alone to Bloor Homes’ exacting standards, without people working together smoothly, safely and efficiently. On a construction site, or in a storage facility, a Forklift Truck Driver is solely responsible for moving materials around – safely, quickly and efficiently. Nobody else could do their job without those materials being in the right place at the right time. The Forklift Driver is a key member of the team. The safe storage, movement and handling of deliveries and materials is at the heart of everything we do.

We are recruiting for an experienced Forklift Truck Driver / Telehandler / Forklift Operator to join our Exeter Region, to be site based on our Winsford Park Development in Bideford. The duties of a Forklift Truck Driver are to move materials safely around a site, check deliveries and ensure their correct storage and distribution around the site, all in a safe and timely manner. Safety is key – it is the driver’s responsibility to ensure safe access and walkways, to ensure skips are used correctly and waste materials are managed in line with our waste policies.
