• Travel between company sites across East Anglia when required

The Candidate

We’re looking for somebody with experience within a plant, manufacturing, production, construction materials or heavy industrial environment.

Experience within concrete, mortar, aggregates, quarrying, recycling or heavy plant would be particularly advantageous, although this isn't essential.

• Comfortable getting hands‑on with machinery
• Safety focused
• Confident working independently
• Organised and able to manage a busy operation
• A strong communicator
• Comfortable using computer‑based systems
• Flexible to travel between sites when required

The Package

• £35,000 – £45,000 basic salary
• Excellent long‑term career opportunity
• Established and growing business
• Varied, hands‑on position
• Multi‑site responsibility across East Anglia
• Training & development opportunities

If you're somebody who takes ownership, gets stuck in and knows how to keep a plant operation running smoothly, this could be an excellent next step.
