Job Introduction

At Tarmac, who you are matters. We want to get to know you. If you share our values, take pride in a job well done, enjoy working collaboratively, and are ambitious to make things better, we’d love to hear from you.

We are currently recruiting for a Multi Skilled Operative – Road Planing to join our National Road Planing (NRP) team based in Thatcham, Berkshire.
This role offers great accessibility from surrounding locations including Newbury, Reading, Andover, Swindon, Oxford, Abingdon, Didcot, Slough, Basingstoke, High Wycombe and Maidenhead.

At Tarmac, we are committed to creating a dynamic, inclusive environment and welcome applications from individuals with a variety of backgrounds.

As a Multi Skilled Operative – Road Planing, you’ll report directly to the Planing Foreman and play a key role in supporting highways planing operations.

In this hands-on role, your responsibilities will include:

Operating machinery, vehicles and tools, ensuring all equipment is safe and fit for use, and reporting any defects promptly
Ensuring you are fully trained, authorised and always wearing the correct PPE
Complying with all safety requirements, company standards and procedures for both employees and subcontractors
Completing site-specific documentation and attending necessary site inductions and briefings
Actively promoting a strong safety culture by identifying and reporting hazards through Safety Observation and Near Miss processes
Supporting environmental best practice and ensuring processes are followed across all work activities

What We Are Looking For

To be successful in this role, you should have:

Essential:

Experience operating a road planer, or transferable experience operating heavy plant machinery (with training provided)
A full UK manual driving licence with no more than 6 penalty points

Desirable (but not essential):

Knowledge of surfacing methods and planing machine capabilities
A valid CSCS qualification

We’re also looking for someone who demonstrates:

Strong communication and teamwork skills, able to contribute to a positive team environment
Flexibility and openness to change, with a commitment to continuous improvement
Problem-solving ability, taking ownership and identifying root causes to resolve issues effectively

If you’re looking to build a career in road planing and want to join a team where safety, collaboration and development are at the heart of everything we do, this could be the opportunity for you.

Why Tarmac

We don't just offer a job, we offer a career.

Alongside this role, you'll have access to industry-leading rewards, development opportunities, and a culture that puts people first, including:

Bonus scheme
Enhanced holiday entitlement
Contributory pension scheme
Access to the Tarmac Reward website with discounts on retailers, holidays, etc.
Access to our Employee Assistance helpline for free and confidential advice

Training and development opportunities

Tarmac is committed to being a Forces‑friendly employer. If you’re coming from a military background, we’ll support your transition and help you build a successful career with us.

We’re proud to be part of CRH, and even prouder to be an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for everyone. If you need any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process, just let us know, we’re here to support you.
