Training and investing in Operators
Successful Careers in Plant Scheme 2021, with several recruits going out to work on HS2
We’re excited that several groups of Careers in Plant recruits have started their journey into the construction industry.

Our Careers in Plant Scheme consists of ten days intensive training, which allows Operators to gain 3-4 tickets, from an Articulated Dumptruck, Roller, Forward Tipping Dumper or Tracked Dump Truck.
They complete theory and gain practical experience on all categories and learn important safety information to prepare them for work. In addition to their training, they spent a day in the Depot with one of our Operator Trainers, undergoing important Plant Familiarisation.
These sessions are designed to give Operators a breadth of knowledge across varied plant – they learnt about specific machines, their functionality, as well as important pre-start and function checks.
Tessa Leigh, National Recruitment Manager said that “The Careers in Plant Scheme is an amazing opportunity to get into the ever-growing Construction Industry, with the backing of a leading
plant hire company. We understand the need for great Operators, and this scheme helps people to develop the skills they need to advance in their careers with us.”
Gez Bonner, National Training Manager, said that “We’ve designed an enhanced training course that not only provides these individuals with knowledge of plant, but also allows them to see what working on a real live site is like. We’ve carefully selected our
training area, so it allows us to adapt and create new scenarios every day, just like a construction site. We will be working with so much varied plant, all different sizes and all different manufacturers, with the aim that all our trainees will come out of the other side ready for whatever we put in front of them. It is a challenging but rewarding ten days.”
All our recruits our now out working across various HS2 sites.
The Careers in Plant Scheme is unique to Lynch, and we are excited to relaunch the scheme in 2022 – watch this space!
