· Work collaboratively with colleagues to ensure smooth site operations

· Follow all Health, Safety, Environmental, and Quality (HSEQ) procedures

· Identify hazards and contribute to a safe working environment

Essential:

· Proven experience operating heavy plants (e.g. excavator, loading shovel, dumper)

· Relevant plant licence.

· Strong awareness of health and safety practices

· Good communication skills and ability to work as part of a team

· Full UK Driving Licence

Desirable:

· Experience in aggregates, quarrying, or recycling operations

· Geotechnical awareness or experience working on quarry faces

· Knowledge of risk assessments and safe systems of work

· Basic mechanical knowledge for routine maintenance

Personal Attributes

· Safety-first approach with a proactive attitude

· Reliable, punctual, and hardworking

· Flexible and adaptable to operational needs

· Positive mindset with a willingness to learn

· Confident raising safety concerns and contributing ideas

What We Offer

· Competitive salary (depending on experience)

· Full-time, stable position within a growing local business
