whats the money like if you dont mind me asking??
Started off years ago,got into the demolition industry as a stop gap type of thing and just stayed in it,lol.
Worked my way up into operating the mini diggers on high rise flats,taking then down floor by floor.
the Firm put me in for the licience/nvq training etc...
Just gradually worked onto the bigger machines and now moved last year to another company to become a supervisor/operator.
Money depends on experience and what you can do with them.
i pick up thereabouts £350-£400 plus bonuses on top plus Scrap metal sometimes
, oh start work at 8.30 and finish at 4pm
If intrested in operating a machine in the construction industry try getting in touch with the CITB.. 01485 577577.
Hope you sort something out.
