If the qualification is what is missing

For the right candidate we are willing to provide HIAB training if you currently hold a Class 1 licence but do not yet have HIAB qualifications.

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.
