Answer 1

During the 60's & 70's I was a skilled excavator / 'dozer driver, when it was impossible not to have a job (Opencast Coal Sites, Motorway Construction, Gas Pipelines, Colliery Waste Heaps, etc. etc.) such was the demand for operators .

  I know things have changed, but I would think one thing will still be the same,and that is the fact that an 'idle' machine costs money, so if someone arives on a site with the capability of driving that machine the job is his(or hers nowadays).

  With that in mind, don't rely on writing or phoning, visit all Civil Engineering and Building sites in the area that you want, and 'state your case'

Good luck and enjoy.
