Leading and supervising Portable Roadway Operatives during installations and recoveries

Acting as the main point of contact on site, working closely with customers, project coordinators, and internal teams

Conducting site-specific risk assessments and ensuring compliance with RAMS and health & safety procedures

Planning workloads, coordinating logistics, and adapting to changing site conditions and customer requirements

Providing technical guidance to customers on the best access solutions for their project needs

Supporting the training and development of new team members and helping maintain high operational standards

Class 1 (C+E) Licence

HIAB / Lorry Loader Crane experience

Driver CPC & Digital Tachograph Card

Strong understanding of lifting operations and site safety

Leadership skills with a customer-focused approach

Flexibility to work away from home, with frequent overnight stays and occasional weekend work
