About the Role
This is a varied role where you'll be involved in the production, testing, quality assurance and delivery of concrete products, helping ensure every load meets both customer expectations and Firth's high standards. You'll work closely with plant operations, drivers and customers, mixing and batching concrete, carrying out testing procedures, maintaining accurate records and supporting the day-to-day running of the plant.

- A positive attitude and willingness to learn
- Experience within manufacturing, construction materials, plant operations, laboratory testing or the concrete industry would be advantageous, but it's not essential.
What's in it for You?
- Full-time, permanent employment with an industry leader
- Ongoing training, qualifications and career development opportunities
- A supportive team environment that values safety and collaboration
- The opportunity to learn specialised skills within the concrete industry
- Employee benefits and discounts across the Fletcher Building Group
- A stable role with opportunities for future career progression
