  • Strong communication skills for coordinating with supervisors and team members.
Responsibilities:
  • Operate wheel loader machinery to load, transport, and unload materials in mining and extraction sites.
  • Conduct pre-operation inspections and routine maintenance checks to ensure equipment is in safe working condition.
  • Collaborate with site supervisors and team members to plan and execute material handling tasks efficiently.
  • Adhere strictly to safety protocols and regulatory requirements to minimize risk and maintain a safe working environment.
  • Report any mechanical issues or safety concerns promptly to maintenance and supervisory personnel.
  • Maintain accurate records of operational activities, including hours of operation and maintenance performed.
  • Assist in training new operators on safe and effective wheel loader operation techniques.

Skills:
The required skills enable the operator to safely and efficiently handle wheel loader machinery, ensuring materials are moved accurately and on schedule. Proficiency in equipment inspection and maintenance helps prevent breakdowns and supports continuous operation. Safety knowledge is applied daily to mitigate risks and comply with regulatory standards, protecting both personnel and equipment.
