Traffic Marshal / Banksman.

Keep the site moving safely.

Traffic marshals keep the most dangerous part of any site safe: the place where vehicles and people share ground. Guiding deliveries, banking reversing lorries and holding the exclusion zones is precise, respected work, and every active site needs it. A short course qualifies you, and it stacks neatly on a green card for site-wide employability.
