Job description

Lead Operations. Drive Performance. Build Your Future.

Ready to take the next step in your leadership career?

We're looking for a hands-on, people-focused Plant Supervisor to lead our ReadyMix concrete operations at our busy Agecroft Concrete Plant in Salford.

Are you an experienced Supervisor looking for a new challenge? If you are already leading your own site operation and making a real impact, if you enjoy taking ownership of safety, production, performance and people then this role may appeal to you. Whether you're already working in ReadyMix, aggregates, quarrying, concrete, asphalt, construction materials or another heavy industrial environment, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

Don't have ReadyMix experience? That's not a problem. If you have strong leadership experience from a similar operational environment, we'll provide full product and industry training.

What You’ll Be Doing

As Plant Supervisor you'll be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operation of our ReadyMix plant ensuring the highest standards of safety, quality, customer service and operational performance. Reporting to the Production Manager, you'll manage production activities, monitor costs and deliver excellent service to our customers while maintaining compliance with company and legislative standards. You will:

• Manage the day-to-day operation of the ReadyMix plant including contractor activities
• Promote and drive a positive safety culture across site
• Manage daily production operations, stock levels and operational costs
• Ensure efficient concrete production to required quality standards
• Monitor and improve plant performance through KPIs
• Resolve operational and customer queries in a timely manner
• Maintain excellent housekeeping and site standards
• Batch concrete to customer specifications whilst meeting internal quality requirements
• Manage both fixed and variable site costs in line with budget expectations
• Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities

What We’re Looking For

• Supervisory or management experience within a manufacturing, production, industrial or heavy industry environment
• Strong understanding of Health, Safety and Environmental standards
• Experience working with Risk Assessments and Safe Systems of Work
• Excellent communication and people management skills
• Strong organisational and problem-solving abilities
• Ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Proactive approach to performance improvement and customer service
• Proven ability to thrive in a fast-paced operational setting
• Continuous improvement mindset with focus on processes, performance and standards
• Experience in ReadyMix, aggregates, construction materials (preferred)
• IOSH Managing Safely qualification (advantageous)
• NVQ in fixed or mobile plant operations (advantageous)

Location: Agecroft Concrete Plant is easily accessible from Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, Ashton-under-Lyne, Warrington, Wigan, St Helens, Chorley and surrounding areas.
