The Opportunity

Are you looking for a hands-on, pivotal role where you can take full ownership of site operations and keep a high-performing facility running smoothly? At Holcim, we are seeking a dedicated Plant Supervisor to oversee our Ready-mix batching plant. In this vital position, you will be responsible for the day-to-day batching operations, maintaining precise material stocks, ensuring immaculate environmental standards, and keeping site machinery in top condition. While the job title is 'Plant Supervisor', you will not be managing a team of direct reports. Instead, your focus is on supervising the operational processes, batching concrete to exact specifications, and collaborating closely with incoming mixer truck drivers, contractors, and visitors to ensure outstanding Health & Safety practices across the depot. You'll work Monday to Friday 7 until 5 with optional overtime at the weekends.

Who You Are

• An Operational Expert: You take pride in operating equipment safely and efficiently. Ideally, you hold valid certificates/tickets for a loading shovel or telehandler. However, if you do not currently hold these qualifications, full training will be provided.
• Safety-Focused: You naturally prioritise Health & Safety, Quality Assurance, and Environmental compliance. You are confident in delivering toolbox talks, conducting safety tours, and ensuring all site visitors and drivers adhere to site standards.
• A Strong Communicator: You enjoy building positive working relationships. You will work hand-in-hand with external hauliers and drivers to maintain high safety standards and ensure seamless site operations.
• Detail-Oriented and Organised: You are comfortable handling material and stock data, maintaining IT records, carrying out basic technical testing on concrete products, and spotting maintenance needs before they become issues.
• Adaptable and Self-Motivated: You thrive whether working independently to run plant operations or engaging collaboratively with wider operational managers and delivery teams.

We are committed to building a diverse environment and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. You will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, disability or age.
