About the Role

Prime Placers are recruiting an experienced HIAB Lorry Loader Driver with remote grab experience for a well-established builders merchant in Ashton-under-Lyne.

You'll operate the lorry loader crane and remote grab, positioning loads accurately and safely on site, and you'll plan and assess each lift, including ground conditions, overhead hazards and the safety of the public. You'll also complete daily vehicle and crane walk around checks and report any defects, secure loads correctly, complete delivery paperwork and proof of delivery, and give customers a professional, helpful service on site.
