Can you build a fleet schedule across multiple yards?

Yes. We cohort across yards in the same week so the same standard is evidenced fleet-wide and refresher windows line up.

Will this pass a principal-contractor audit?

The course is built around the evidence auditors actually ask for: operator photo ID, assessment date, regulation mapping and refresher window. We return the pack inside the working week.

What happens if an operator fails?

We re-coach on the spot where possible and re-assess; if the gap is bigger we plan a short repeat block rather than a full re-run.

How long does managing mobile plant take?

For refresher cohorts most operators clear inside a day; novice candidates need longer. We plan duration around your team's prior experience, not a default course length.

Do you cover sites near Bucksburn?

Yes — the same instructors cover the surrounding NE Scotland area weekly from Aboyne, so adjacent-yard cohorts add little to no travel cost.

Typical managing mobile plant scenarios on Bucksburn sites

Scenario 1
Designing a one-way site traffic plan with separate gates for plant and pedestrians
Scenario 2
Verifying operator competence on a sub-contract crew you've never used
Scenario 3
Plant-on-pedestrian near-miss: investigation, lessons, and traffic-plan rework

Audit findings this prevents

Traffic plan drawn at tender stage and never updated as the site phases changed
Competence assumed from a card — never physically observed on your machine
No incident-investigation template, so the same near-miss happens at every project
