The Opportunity

The way we build is changing, and you could be part of what comes next.

At Holcim UK, we're finding new ways to make construction more sustainable, innovative and ready for the future. From homes and schools to hospitals and major infrastructure, what we do helps shape the places people live, work and grow.

With more than 4,000 colleagues across over 200 sites in the UK, you'll be joining a team that's making a real difference every day.

This isn't just about learning a trade. It's about gaining real skills, working with people who know their stuff and playing your part in building a more sustainable future.

Get Leading the Change

See yourself as a future leader? Want to explore different sides of a major business—from operations to commercial teams? Ready to start earning, learning and leading from day one?

Then come and build your future with Holcim UK.

Get stuck in from day one

You'll be working alongside experienced managers and business leaders, getting hands on with real business operations and team projects and learning how things work in the real world.

You'll build practical skills in project management, team leadership, operations and commercial strategy, while working towards a nationally recognised qualification.

Every day will bring something different. You'll have the chance to learn, ask questions, try things out and build your confidence as you go.

And because you'll be learning on the job, you'll see the impact of what you do straight away.

Who are we looking for?

We're looking for people who are great communicators, adaptable and natural leaders. If you're the kind of person who likes working with people, taking initiative and organising projects to get things done, we'd love to hear from you.

You’ll also have the opportunity to show us what you can do through a practical skills assessment, giving you the chance to demonstrate your natural ability and problem solving skills.

Ready to build something bigger?

You’ll earn while you learn, gain a recognised qualification and build real experience that can take you wherever you want to go.

Your career starts here. Come build it with Holcim UK.

We are committed to building a diverse environment and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
