Job description

Location: Warwickshire
Salary: £50,000-£60,000 depending on experience
Hours: Full-time, approximately 40-45 hours per week
Contract: Permanent

We are recruiting for an experienced RMX Operations Manager to take day-to-day ownership of a growing ready-mix concrete operation across two batching plants.

This is a senior hands-on role for someone who understands ready-mix production, plant performance, people management and the operational pressures of keeping a busy concrete business running efficiently.

The successful RMX Operations Manager will be based from Warwickshire and will oversee activity across two batching plants, supporting the wider concrete operation and working closely with the business owner.

The Role

As RMX Operations Manager, you will be responsible for:

• Taking day-to-day operational responsibility across two ready-mix batching plants
• Managing production performance and plant efficiency
• Supporting batching operations and ensuring consistent production standards
• Managing dispatch, deliveries and overall service performance
• Leading batchers, drivers, yard staff and operational employees
• Managing staff performance, discipline and recruitment
• Coordinating plant and fleet maintenance
• Managing customer issues and complaints
• Monitoring wastage, downtime and operational efficiency
• Maintaining BSI procedures and wider compliance requirements
• Supporting mix-design control and concrete quality standards
• Ensuring cube testing and quality processes are completed correctly
• Producing regular operational reports for the business owner
• Working closely with the wider concrete pumping operation where required
• Driving continuous improvement across the business

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone with a strong background in ready-mix concrete operations.

You may currently be working as a:

• RMX Operations Manager
• Ready-Mix Operations Manager
• Area Operations Manager
• Concrete Operations Manager

The key requirement is genuine operational knowledge of ready-mix concrete rather than simply general management experience.

Ideal Experience

• Experience managing batching plants
• Good understanding of concrete production and plant operations
• Experience managing operational teams
• Strong BSI and quality-compliance knowledge
• Understanding of mix designs and cube testing
• Experience managing plant performance, downtime and maintenance
• Comfortable dealing with customer issues and operational problems
• Experience across multiple sites would be highly advantageous
• Concrete pumping experience would be useful but is not essential

The Person

The right person will be practical, commercially aware and comfortable taking ownership.

You will need to be confident making day-to-day decisions, managing people and keeping operations moving without constant supervision.

This is not a purely office-based management role. We are looking for someone who understands what happens on the plant, can challenge poor performance and can work effectively with operational teams.

Location

The role will be based in Warwickshire, with travel to a second batching plant near Banbury when required.

Candidates should ideally live within approximately one hour of Warwickshire.

Package

• Senior operational responsibility
• Growing independent concrete business
• Genuine autonomy and influence
• Long-term opportunity to shape the operation

If you are an experienced ready-mix concrete professional looking for a broader operational role with real responsibility, we would be keen to hear from you.
