About Us

Hereford Quarries is a well-established, independent operation licensed by the Environment Agency to accept and process inert waste for the production of high-quality recycled aggregates and screened soils.

Operating from our 10-acre site just outside Hereford, as well as our Upper Lyde Gravel Pit, we play a key role in supporting sustainable construction across the region.

About the Role

We are looking for a skilled, reliable, and safety-focused Quarry Operative to join our growing team. This is a hands-on role in a busy quarry and recycling environment where teamwork, efficiency, and a strong commitment to health and safety are essential.

Key Responsibilities

Reporting to the Production Manager, you will:

· Operate mobile plant machinery including 360° excavators, loading shovels, and other quarry equipment

· Handle and process materials including inert waste, aggregates, and soils

· Load crushers, screeners, and dumpers efficiently to meet production targets

· Assist in the recycling, and sand & gravel product processing.

· Carry out routine plant inspections, report defects, and support maintenance activities

· Maintain high housekeeping standards across the site

· Support daily and weekly production targets

· 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

What We’re Looking For

We are seeking someone with experience in quarrying, recycling, construction, or a similar heavy industrial 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

· Opportunity to develop skills across quarrying and recycling operations

· Supportive team environment with a strong focus on safety
