Employers + Candidates
Permanent Staff
Permanent plant operators provide long-term reliability, machine familiarity and site consistency. We help construction firms hire experienced excavator operators, telehandler drivers, FLT operators and other specialist plant operators who understand safe operation, site coordination and productivity expectations.
All permanent candidates are vetted for tickets, experience and site readiness to ensure a strong long-term fit.
Employers + Candidates
Temporary Staff
Temporary plant operators are often needed to cover absences, support peak workloads or maintain progress during critical stages. We supply qualified operators who can step onto site quickly, follow site rules and operate safely from day one.
This helps contractors maintain output and protect programme delivery during short-term gaps.
Employers + Candidates
Contract & Project-Based
Some projects require plant operators for defined phases such as enabling works, drainage, bulk earthworks or final groundworks. We support construction firms with project-based plant operator recruitment, supplying operators aligned to your machinery, site environment and programme length.
This gives you the right capability on site without committing beyond the life of the project.
Looking to hire skilled plant operators or your next role? We can help.
Plant operators are critical to keeping projects moving safely, efficiently and on programme. Our plant operator recruitment agency supports construction firms that need reliable, ticketed operators on site, while also helping experienced operators secure consistent work on well-run projects that match their skills and availability.
For employers
Plant operators are often the difference between a project staying on programme or falling behind. When machinery is idle or operators are unfamiliar with site requirements, costs escalate quickly.
Our plant operator recruitment agency focuses on supplying operators who are already experienced in live site environments and specific machinery, so you are not losing time on re-briefing, retraining or supervision gaps. We prioritise availability, valid tickets, site awareness and reliability, giving you operators who can step onto site and contribute immediately.
For candidates
Plant operators are in demand, but not every role offers the right site standards, equipment or working conditions. Finding consistent work that matches your tickets, experience and preferred machine types can make a real difference to your day-to-day job satisfaction.
We work with contractors and developers who need competent, safety-focused plant operators across groundwork, civils and infrastructure projects. Roles are matched based on your certification, site experience and availability, giving you access to opportunities where your skills are recognised and used properly from day one.
We make plant operator recruitment simple, transparent, and fully compliant.
All plant operators we supply are employed directly through our PAYE system with no umbrella companies or hidden deductions. We aim to provide complete transparency and documentation throughout our recruitment process, so you can hire with confidence knowing every placement meets the latest HMRC standards.

Business Manager
"We started using Blackpoint Recruitment during the pandemic and found them to be very helpful and professional. At a time when other companies were not even responding to our calls due to demand, Blackpoint kept us in the loop of the current recruitment market and was able to supply good quality staff. My main reasons to continually work with Blackpoint was not just to find staff to put in positions but to work with us and understand our business so the staff put forward were right for the job. Blackpoint is currently our main supplier for staff on a temp to perm for the above reason. We have a fantastic working relationship between us and very happy to continually work with them. Would recommend it to any business looking for staff on either a temp or temp to perm basis."

"It is with much enthusiasm that i write to recommend the services of Black Point Recruitment. I have had a close working relationship with the company for four years with regards to recruiting several positions within Wren Kitchens. The team have been able to successful recruit temp to perm positions such as HGV Cat C, Cat C1 and Drivers Mates over these 4 years and continue to do so. They have sent us great office-based candidates for two of our Southern based depots which remain with us now. Black Point Recruitment have been able to supply us with last minute van drivers within hours of request, with all teams fulfilling the role to a high standard and representing our company well. I highly recommend the services of Black Point Recruitment."

When I raise unusual questions, pay queries and where an intelligent solution is required. I very much appreciate the sincere support that I receive from Black Point Recruitment."
Mark Martin
Candidate
"I haven't had much success with agencies in the past. Mainly false promises & sheer nonsense has been the only thing my timesheets have seen. I sent my CV off to them & they responded the same afternoon by phone & had an interview date set up for me by the end of the same day. I strongly recommend them!
Lee Conibear
