Job Title
Machine Operators – Skid Steer, Telehandler, Plant Drivers

Location
UK-wide (current projects based in Melksham, near Chippenham; travel and staying away may be required)

About the Company
We are a turnkey installation provider delivering full mechanical and electrical services (LV and HV) with civil partners. Our focus is large-scale solar farm and renewable energy projects across the UK. With a strong order book running through 2028, we are building a reliable UK team of operators to support ongoing and upcoming projects.

Role Overview
We are looking for experienced machine operators to join our site teams on solar farm installations. The work is fast-paced, intensive, and requires a strong work ethic. Reliability is essential — this is not new build housing with downtime, it is continuous installation work on live construction sites.

• Work collaboratively with the mechanical install team to support turnkey delivery
• Maintain compliance with health and safety standards at all times
• Travel to different UK sites and stay away where required
• Be available for overtime and weekend work to meet project deadlines

Requirements
• Valid CSCS card (mandatory)
• Valid tickets for Skid Steer, Telehandler, or other plant machinery
• Previous experience on solar, renewable, or construction sites preferred
• Strong reliability and hardworking attitude
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, hands-on environment with minimal downtime
• Willingness to travel and work flexibly across the UK

What We Offer
• CIS contract work with competitive market rates
• Overtime and weekend work available
• Long-term continuity with projects running through 2028
• Accommodation and allowances provided when staying away
• Opportunity to be part of a dedicated UK operator team
