Scale Your Plant Assessment Firm With Dedicated Plant Assessor VAs
Keep your qualified plant assessors and trainers out on site conducting 360 excavator, telehandler, and dumper tests instead of spending 20 hours a week uploading video evidence to OneFile, chasing candidate CITB test passes, and typing up Verification of Competency (VOC) reports. Hire specialized heavy machinery assessment assistants overseen by a free, dedicated Project Manager. We manage CPCS, NPORS, CSCS, e-portfolios, candidate registrations, and IQA audit trails—cutting administrative overhead by up to 70%.
