What to check
Tickets and cards to look for
Most sites ask for a CPCS or NPORS card for each machine, with the category shown and in date. Some also ask for a slinger/signaller ticket.
On 3lanse, a 3lanser's profile shows the tickets and cards they've added with their expiry dates, so you can see at a glance what's in date.

Questions
Does 3lanse take a cut when I hire a plant operator?
No. 3lanse doesn't charge finder's fees or take a margin on rates. You agree the price or day rate directly with the 3lanser. Searching and messaging needs 3seeker Plus (14-day free trial, no card needed).
Can I see which machines an operator is ticketed for?
Operators add each ticket, such as CPCS 360 excavator or NPORS dumper, with its expiry date, so you can check before they come to site.
Can I post a plant operator job for a set length of time?
Yes. Post the job with how long it's for, for example "two weeks", and plant operators looking for that length of work can find it by typing what they want, like "plant operator jobs for 2 weeks".
