• Conduct daily pre-operation and post-operation inspections of the loader, including tires, hydraulics, fluid levels, bucket condition, and safety features, reporting any faults promptly.
• Coordinate closely with truck drivers, the Plant Manager/Crushing Supervisor, and quarry crew to maintain a steady and efficient flow of material loading and haulage.
• Monitor stockpile levels and communicate material shortages or surpluses to the General Manager and Plant Manager in a timely manner.
• Follow all site safety protocols, traffic patterns, and load limits when maneuvering the loader around trucks, personnel, and equipment.
• Maintain accurate operating records, including hours of operation, fuel usage, tonnage loaded, and maintenance or incident reports.
• Perform routine cleaning, greasing, and basic maintenance checks on the loader to keep it in good working condition and minimize downtime.
• Report any accidents, near-misses, equipment faults, or safety hazards to the General Manager immediately.
• Support fellow operators and junior staff by mentoring safe equipment handling and efficient loading techniques.
• Carry out any other duties as reasonably assigned by the General Manager.
