What would you look for in a groundie?

[Stoatally]

Had an interestign chat with a trainign provider the other day, which got me thinking.

 

As I'm trying to move my career over to arb, I'm puttign myself on or through training. Currently waiting to get on my C30 and 31. I'm waiting for the learning agreement from Capel for the online RFS level 2.

 

What else would you want, bearing in mind I don't have a lot of experience.

 

If someone turned up asking for work experience / becoming a trainee / groundie job what would you want?

 

C30/31 is prettyy much a given.

C38?

Chipper?

Grinder?

ISO 3103?

C1+e driving licence puts you ahead of the pack. Most important however is the will to work hard and an be a real team player.

Will to work

Promp

Keen

 

Are any other quals / tickets worthwhile?

?

 

 

If you don't already have one, get yourself a driving licence that will allow you to tow a chipper (larger than a pencil sharpener)

 

A CSCS card will make you more useful, you cant get on a construction site without one

 

All else should follow from there

I can drive 7500kg or tow 3500kg with 3500kg

Although you should see me reverse a trailer

 

How do you get a CSCS card, haven't here been loads of threads about needing a special CSCS for arb?

An alarm clock that works, a diary you check, a pocket to put your phone in and ears that you use to listen.

Reliability , use a chainsaw , and a Sixth Sense would be nice.

Don't let your phone distract you from the work at hand . Leave it in the van .

 

Nowt worse than seeing someone checking there phone every 5 mins
