Manufacturing Plant Manager

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?

We are 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.

While experience within the Readymix or aggregates sector would be beneficial, we are equally keen to hear from candidates with supervisory experience gained in other heavy industrial, manufacturing or production environments. Full product and industry training will be provided.

As Plant Supervisor you will:

• Lead and supervise all daily Readymix plant operations whilst building positive relationships with customers, contractors and colleagues.
• Manage daily production activities, stock control and operational costs.
• Ensure efficient concrete production while maintaining quality standards.
• Deliver toolbox talks and supervise contractors.
• Monitor and improve plant performance through KPIs.
• Maintain excellent housekeeping and site standards.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives across the operation.

Ideally you will be an effective Supervisor with experience gained within a manufacturing, production or heavy industrial environment who thrives in a fast-paced operational environment and enjoys balancing people leadership, production, customer service and continuous improvement.

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, and excellent organisational and time management skills are essential.

Experience within Readymix, aggregates, concrete or related industries is preferred. An NVQ in Fixed and Mobile Plant Operations is advantageous.

Working Hours: Day shifts with overtime available to support production requirements.

Location: Tarmac Chesterton Concrete Plant is conveniently located for candidates living in Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Kidsgrove, Biddulph, Stone, Alsager, Leek, Nantwich, Congleton, Cheadle and surrounding areas.

Join us and play a key role leading from the front and building something you can be proud of whilst helping build the infrastructure and communities that shape the future for us all.

Alongside this role, you'll have access to industry-leading rewards, development opportunities, and a culture that puts people first, including:

• Bonus scheme
