Plant Supervisor (RMX) in London

Lead from the front. Keep production moving. Make safety your legacy. Are you a hands-on Supervisor or Team Leader seeking a fresh challenge? If you have supervisory experience gained in a manufacturing, production, quarrying, construction materials, concrete or other heavy industrial environment this role could be for you. Would you like the opportunity to take ownership of a site, develop your team, drive operational performance and make a real impact every day? If so, we'd love to hear from you.

We're recruiting a Plant Supervisor (Readymix) to lead operations at our Chesterton Concrete Plant in Stoke-on-Trent. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced supervisor to take responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the Readymix plant, ensuring safety, quality, customer service and operational performance remain at the highest level. This is a highly visible role where you will lead from the front, manage plant performance, support your team and help deliver a first-class service to customers.

• Monitor and improve plant performance through KPIs.
• Resolve operational and customer-related queries.
• Maintain excellent housekeeping and site standards.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives across the operation.
• Manage site budgets, including both fixed and variable costs.

What We're Looking For

• Effective Supervisor with experience gained within a manufacturing, production or heavy industrial environment.
• Strong commitment to health, safety and environmental standards.
• Experience working with risk assessments and safe systems of work.
• Good operational and production process knowledge.
• Strong people leadership and communication skills with proven ability to motivate teams and drive performance.
• Proactive approach to problem solving and continuous improvement.
• Confidence to manage multiple priorities and adapt to change.
• Excellent organisational and time management skills.
• A customer-focused mindset.
• Experience within Readymix, aggregates, concrete or related industries (preferred).
