If you’re an all-rounder who enjoys variety in your work week, this role offers a clear pathway to grow your skills and your pay. You’ll start on the wash pad and progress through container repairs, side loader operation and surveying, with training provided along the way.

Your skills and pay pathway:

· Wash pad: cleaning containers to MPI and customer standards and completing audit sheets as required

· Container repairs: carrying out repairs and upgrades to containers, including welding and fabrication

· Side loader operation: moving empty containers between road and rail transport and yard storage
