On-Site NVQs for Plant and Lifting Operatives

Plant and lifting operations are essential on busy construction sites. From moving materials safely to supporting cranes and lifting equipment, these roles keep projects running smoothly and help maintain safe working conditions. Qualified operatives are always in demand, especially on larger commercial and civil engineering jobs.

If you’ve built up experience on site but haven’t gained your NVQ yet, an on-site assessment gives you the qualification you need without taking time away from work. There’s no classroom learning and no written exams — everything is assessed while you carry out your normal duties.

The NVQs below support key roles within plant and lifting operations.
