As a Banksman, you will:

  • Safely control vehicle movements throughout the yard
  • Give clear instructions and signals to drivers

  • Ensure first-time visitors complete the required site induction
  • Monitor compliance with site operating times and traffic rules
  • Report drivers who fail to follow movement instructions
  • Ensure PPE requirements are followed
  • Keep the yard clear of debris, obstacles and potential hazards
  • Arrange cleaning support when required
  • Assist other site teams when needed

About You

You will:

  • Have strong communication skills
  • Be confident giving clear instructions to drivers
  • Be safety-conscious and observant
  • Work well as part of a team
  • Be comfortable working independently
  • Be prepared to work predominantly outdoors
  • Ideally have experience in a yard, recycling, logistics or similar operational environment

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Banksman or someone with relevant site experience who wants to join a busy and supportive operational team.
