How Earthmoving Plant Operation works in SkillScorer
Score
Each operator in a site is scored on the Earthmoving Plant Operation skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank operators, compare two side by side, or compare your sites against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Earthmoving Plant Operation skills need attention. Reports also follow each leading hand's site.
Earthmoving Plant Operation scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Earthmoving Plant Operation scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Earthmoving Plant Operation scorecard covers 10 skills: Pre-Start Checks and Defect Reporting, Excavator Digging and Grade Control, Dozer and Grader Operation, Loading and Truck Interface, Reading Plans, Levels and Survey Marks, Underground Services and Overhead Line Awareness, Working Around People and Other Plant, Slopes, Ground Conditions and Stability, Refuelling, Servicing and Machine Care and Productivity and Efficient Technique.

Earthmoving Plant Operation starts with these levels (called “Ticket Level” in the app): Trainee, Operator, Experienced Operator, Leading Hand, Supervisor and Plant Manager. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Earthmoving Plant Operation skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In heavy plant & machinery the app talks about operators, sites and leading hands, and you can change any of those words too.
