It is very advantageous to already have experience with operating self propelled barges and pushing dumb barges. The tight constraints of some of the work areas provide a challenge in manoeuvrability. Having a good understanding of how a barge reacts and how to interpret the conditions on the water to best manoeuvre the barge within the site with confidence will play a big part in being successful for the role.

Experience operating machinery to help understand the limitations and the requirements of plant such as excavators and skid steers will help the successful applicant to better deploy the barges in a safe and effective manner.
