Company Overview
Thomas Bell & Sons Ltd are the UK’s leading independent fertiliser supplier, proudly family-owned and committed to excellence. We are not just hiring — we are building a team of leaders who want to make a difference and grow with us long-term.
We are looking for a proactive, hands-on Assistant Site Manager to support the day-to-day operations of our busy fertiliser production site in Newport. This is a key role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, leads by example, and is ready to take ownership of both people and processes.

A critical part of this role is ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations, environmental standards, and company policies. You’ll be responsible for promoting a safety-first culture, conducting regular checks, and ensuring all site activities meet legal and operational requirements.
What We’re Looking For:
- Experience in production, warehousing, or logistics (essential)
- Counterbalance forklift licence (preferred)
