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. This is a full week's work starting Monday 12 October, ideal for an experienced driver looking for immediate, reliable work with a busy, friendly depot.
You'll be delivering building materials to construction sites, trade customers and domestic addresses across Greater Manchester and the surrounding areas. You'll use a lorry-mounted crane with a remote-operated grab to offload safely and efficiently at each drop.
Key Responsibilities

You'll also complete daily vehicle and crane walkaround checks and report any defects, secure loads correctly, complete delivery paperwork and proof of delivery, and give customers a professional, helpful service on site.
