About me:

Candidate Info :
I have had many experiences in a variety of jobs over my working life and feel that at this point in time I would like to go back to driving as it is something I have always enjoyed. I am willing to work any days and any hours as required Early Mornings or Late Nights do not cause me any concerns nor do weekends or public holidays. I am available for immediate start. I have my own reliable transport and I am capable of working autonomously or as part of a team. As well as holding a HR Licence I also hold HRW Licences for Forklift, Dogging, Vehicle Crane, 60 Tonne Slewing Crane, Advanced Boiler Operation and Turbine Operation. I would like the opportunity to upgrade my current skill set and learn operation of Waste Trucks both solid and Liquid and possibly the opportunity to be trained as a tip truck operator to lay loads as required.
