Meet the project team
With over a million cubic metres of material which needs to be moved, being a truck driver for NCI will definitely keep you busy. We recently caught up with Ravi to learn more about his role.
“I’ve been a truck driver on NCI since the beginning and really enjoy my job – I’ve gone from having a love of cars to being able to drive a 23 tonne six wheeler truck everyday which is pretty cool.”
After collecting the truck from the depo, Ravi heads to site for a morning Health and Safety briefing and then starts the first of up to six roundtrips to the tip site where he deposits earth that the team have dug up.
“As we’re working alongside the motorway, space is very constrained and sometimes I only have a metre or so either side of my truck to navigate into and out of the work area. Staying focused is really important to ensure I can carry out my job safely.”
“I spend a majority of the day in the truck alone, but I’ve built up a great relationship with the team on site and it’s great to see how much we’ve all achieved since we began.”
