Plant Operator

Hi,

Is anybody on here a plant operator? Digger, dumper truck, 360 etc

I have a few questions I’d like to ask

Thanks

Hi,

Job/career wise I’ve came to the realisation that to earn more money I need to learn new skills, get new qualifications. With what I do currently I can’t earn any more or go any higher

I’ve started looking at plant operators. There’s a flyover and HS2 being built locally and seeing the machines got me thinking. Where would a newbie like me start? CPCS? NPORS? Then I hear about red and blue cards. I don’t know the difference between it all

What plant do newcomers start on? In the HGV world you’ll generally if you go the agency route start with vans and then 7.5T then class 2 then class 1. Is Plant the same?

Is most work via agency’s?

Thanks

Thanks for the replies

The thing that concerns me now that I’ve been looking into it more is that most, if not all, jobs I’ve seen advertised are agency and anything from a week to a few months

In around eighteen months we’re hoping to move house and this would be an issue for a mortgage application
