Job Introduction

MULTI SKILLED OPERATIVE – THRISLINGTON QUARRY

Location: Thrislington Quarry, Ferryhill, County Durham

Looking for a hands-on, varied role where no two days are the same? Want to build practical skills, work with heavy plant, and be part of a close‑knit operational team producing essential construction materials?

We’re recruiting a Multi Skilled Operative to support the safe, efficient production of dry aggregates at Tarmac Thrislington Quarry, Ferryhill, County Durham.

Carrying out routine plant maintenance and housekeeping
Assisting with weighbridge duties
Working closely with supervisors and team members to maximise plant availability
Championing high standards of health, safety, environmental and quality performance

Mobile plant experience (shovel / ADT / excavator desirable but not essential)
A proactive, flexible approach and strong teamwork skills
Good communication and timekeeping
Willingness to learn new skills and develop operational and supervisory capability
Understanding of risk assessments and safe systems of work (beneficial)
IT literacy and a full UK driving licence

Plant tickets and shovel licence are advantageous, but full training can be provided for the right candidate.
