The Cord Team

Experienced & Skilled

The Cord team comprises experienced and competent operators with the ability to use a variety of plant such as excavators, backhoes, bobcats, loaders, rollers and graders. In addition we have a number of authorised traffic controllers, first aiders and heavy vehicle drivers. We also have personnel authorised to work in Confined Spaces.

Though not mandatory in the ACT, all members of the Cord team are required to obtain their General Industry Induction Training through an approved NSW WorkCover assessor as soon as they join the company. Skills and competency assessments are regularly undertaken and in conjunction with our OHS&R Plan, we can identify any project specific requirements before we start work.
