If you are an experienced back up driver (preferably with an HGV licence) it won't be a surprise to learn that you'll need to be physically fit and will be working outside in all weathers.

Ideally, we'd like you to have:
- HGV driving licence
- 360 excavator or 180 JCB qualification
- StreetWorks qualification
- HIAB and Clamshell tickets
- Experience of reinstatement of excavation in the highway
But we recognise that we can't always have everything we want, so don't be put off applying if you don't have all of these. We can help with training where necessary. Skills are important, but your attitude to work and learning is the driver here.
