• Move stock, materials and finished products safely and efficiently.
• Safely manoeuvre the FLT in confined areas, yards and busy working environments.
• Ensure loads are handled, positioned and secured correctly.
• Carry out daily FLT checks and report any defects or issues.
• Follow all site and field-based health & safety procedures and FLT operating requirements.
• Maintain a clean, organised and safe working environment.
• Assist with general loading, unloading and site duties when required.
• Work effectively as part of a two-person team.
• Maintain excellent standards of reliability, punctuality and attendance throughout the assignment.
