We are seeking an outstanding Mobile Crane Operator to join our team and operate the newest generation of mobile cranes, with a primary focus on advanced Liebherr machinery. This is an excellent opportunity for a highly skilled professional who takes pride in safe, precise, and efficient lifting operations. The successful candidate will work on a variety of demanding projects, utilising state-of-the-art equipment renowned for its technology, reliability, and performance.

We are committed to attracting the very best individuals—those who are flexible, hardworking, and dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of safety and operational excellence.

Key Responsibilities

Safely and competently operate modern mobile telescopic cranes, predominantly the latest Liebherr models, to lift, move, and position heavy loads in accordance with approved lift plans, risk assessments, and method statements.
Conduct thorough daily pre-use inspections, routine maintenance checks, and fault reporting to ensure equipment remains in optimal condition and fully compliant with LOLER regulations.
Set up, configure, and dismantle cranes on-site, including the correct deployment of outriggers, counterweights, and boom configurations in line with manufacturer guidelines.
Collaborate closely with appointed persons, lift supervisors, slingers/signallers, and site teams to plan and execute lifting operations safely and efficiently.
Monitor crane stability, load weights, ground conditions, and environmental factors, taking proactive action to mitigate risks.
Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of operations, maintenance activities, and any incidents or near-misses.
Demonstrate full flexibility regarding working hours, shift patterns, project locations, and overnight stays as required by operational demands.
Uphold a strong safety culture at all times and contribute to continuous improvement in lifting practices and procedures.

Strong understanding of lift planning, rigging principles, and safe systems of work.
Full UK driving licence with the appropriate categories to operate and transport crane equipment to site.
Excellent communication, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities.
Physical fitness and the ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions, including tasks at height where necessary.
A demonstrable commitment to safety, reliability, and professional conduct.

Desirable Qualifications and Experience

CPCS A62 Crane Lifting Operations Supervisor qualification (or equivalent experience acting in a lift supervisory capacity).
NVQ Level 2 (or higher) in Plant Operations – Mobile Crane or in Controlling Lifting Operations.
Previous experience within crane hire, construction, heavy-lift, or industrial sectors.
Manufacturer-specific training or familiarisation on Liebherr mobile cranes.
Current First Aid at Work certificate.

The ideal individual will be reliable, detail-oriented, adaptable to changing project requirements, and proactive in identifying and addressing safety or operational issues. A positive attitude, willingness to support colleagues, and pride in delivering work to the highest standard are essential.

Competitive salary package commensurate with experience and qualifications.
Clear and rewarding working hours structure:

– Basic rate for the first eight hours per day.
