- Macclesfielfd, Cheshire
Are you an experienced Quarry Manager, Assistant Quarry Manager or Section Manager looking for your next challenge?
We're recruiting for a key operational leadership role within a well-established sand and gravel operation in Cheshire.
Reporting directly to the Operations Manager, you'll take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the quarry, leading the operational team while driving safety, production and continuous improvement across the site.
This isn't simply a supervisory role.
You'll become the Operations Manager's right-hand person, taking ownership of quarry performance and stepping into full site leadership whenever required.
The Role
Working within a busy sand and gravel operation incorporating dredging, processing and drying, you'll play a key role in ensuring the quarry operates safely, efficiently and to the highest operational standards.
You'll be responsible for
- Leading the day-to-day operation of the quarry.
- Driving an industry-leading health, safety and environmental culture.
- Managing production performance, quality and operational efficiency.
- Leading, coaching and developing operational teams.
- Working closely with maintenance to maximise plant reliability and minimise downtime.
- Managing budgets, KPIs and operational reporting.
- Ensuring legislative and company compliance across the site.
- Supporting continuous improvement and automation initiatives.
- Acting as the senior operational leader whenever the Operations Manager is away.
- We're Looking For
You'll ideally come from an aggregates, quarrying, mining or heavy industrial processing background and have experience leading operational teams within a production environment.
You'll have experience in
- Quarry or heavy industrial operations.
- Health & Safety leadership.
- Managing production and operational performance.
- Team leadership and staff development.
- Fixed plant and production processes.
- Continuous improvement.
- Working within safety-critical environments.
Experience within sand and gravel operations would be advantageous but is not essential.
Recognised quarrying or health & safety qualifications such as IOSH, NEBOSH or Quarry Technology are welcomed, although practical operational experience will also be considered.
Why Apply?
- Join one of the UK's leading construction materials businesses.
- Genuine progression opportunities into senior operational leadership.
- Modern, well-invested operation.
- Significant autonomy and responsibility.
- Long-term career development.
- Stable, well-supported business with continued investment.
