Job description

Description

Do you fancy a new challenge? Are you looking for support and development as you progress along your career journey?

We're excited to advertise for a new role of Assistant Production Manager to join our South Wales and South West RMX team. We’re looking for a proactive, hands-on person and as Assistant Production Manager, you’ll play a big part in our concrete production within the area, covering our South Wales, Worcestershire and Herefordshire ready-mix concrete sites.

Key Responsibilities

You’ll enjoy travelling and learning the different systems at our sites; you’ll provide help and support when we’re busy and work with our Business Manager and Production Manager to keep our sites running smoothly to meet the needs of our local customers.

You won’t mind spending time in the car, moving between our sites to collaborate with a variety of key stakeholders, focusing on building strong relationships. You’ll take the lead in supporting our production teams and oversee quality, material management and supporting our distribution teams. But it’s not all administration, there will be occasions when you will need to operate a RMX batching plant or drive a loading shovel. You’ll still be getting your hands dirty; working alongside and leading the operational teams to keep everything running smoothly!

Additional responsibilities include:

• Raising of order numbers
• Maintaining plant documentation in accordance with standards and permit conditions
• Delivering training to your team
• Attending audits by external acquisition bodies
• Coaching and mentoring of new team members

You’ll be working 48 hours a week Monday to Friday and occasional Saturday mornings, however we do ask for some flexibility to meet business demand. You’ll be provided with a Company Van and fuel card (which you can use for home to work travel) to enable you to effectively carry out your role.

What we would love for you to bring to the role

• Leadership experience in a similar role or environment such as asphalt, aggregates, concrete, cement, quarrying or mining.
• Experience of batching concrete.
• Hardworking, reliable, and professional individual, with good communication skills.
• Experience of working in an environment where Health and Safety is paramount.
• A full UK Driving Licence.
