With a keen interest and some experience in the roading or civil construction industry, you'll be comfortable stepping in to our fast paced and safety compliant environment. You will need a Full Class 1 Drivers Licence and if you have a Class 2+ and WTR these are beneficial, although not essential. Training will be provided to the successful applicant.
