Asphalt Plant Operative

Are you looking for something different? Bored of the humdrum 9 to 5 or simply looking for a change in scenery? We're currently recruiting for an Operator to join our operations team based in our Leinthall Quarry in Herefordshire.

Working for the largest independent construction materials business in the UK and Ireland, you'll be provided with real, practical experience and mentoring by industry experts. You'll also have the opportunity to attain an NVQ in Mobile Plant Operations, with further training available to support you in achieving your career aspirations.

What you'll be doing:

  • Working in the batching office where you'll learn to run our Asphalt Plant
  • Operating heavy machinery to support our Asphalt operations
  • Supporting your team members in a fast-paced environment
  • Helping us to ensure compliance with environmental, health and safety policy and regulations, including manual handling and safe systems of work guidelines
  • Adhering to best practice health & safety guidelines
  • Maintain good housekeeping practices ensuring all work areas are kept clean and tidy

What we would love you to bring to the role:

  • Reliable with a strong work ethic
  • A friendly, positive attitude
  • A commitment to health and safety
  • A conscientious approach to your work
  • Flexible approach to tasks and desire to work as part of a team
  • It would be an advantage if you have worked in a similar role before and have experience of driving a Loading Shovel

Please note owing to the location of the Quarry public transport is limited, therefore you must be able to reliably get yourself to work.

We pride ourselves on developing our team and promoting from within. There will be opportunities to qualify in operating other machinery and we will support you in achieving your career aspirations.

What we offer:

  • A competitive salary (plus the option to earn overtime on top!)
  • 25 days holiday, plus 8 bank holidays
  • Company Pension Scheme
  • Company Life Assurance
  • Access to our brilliant employee benefits platform
  • Access to our Employee Assistant Programme 24/7
