i work for a plant hire, civils and demolition company and everywhere is really clamping down on people with no tickets.

I would go down the route stevenr has mentioned try and get your foot in the door with a company as a labourer not the best but gets u in the enviroment and there is a good chance of gaining tickets and experience on mini diggers and stuff that weighs under 8 tonne lets u learn the trade as such.

Another option is the waste industry plenty plant used in that loading power screens and crushers etc
