Job Title: Concrete Batcher / Ready-Mix Plant OperatorLocation: Uxbridge, West LondonSalary: £17.00 – £22.00 per hour Hours: Monday to Friday, 7:00am – 5:00pm + Saturdays as required
The Role
We are recruiting for a Concrete Batcher / Ready-Mix Plant Operator to join a busy ready-mix concrete operation based in West London, with occasional cover at a sister site less than 10 miles away.
This is an excellent opportunity for either an experienced Concrete Batcher or somebody already working within ready-mix concrete, aggregates or a similar production/plant environment who has the right attitude and wants to progress into batching.
Previous batching experience is advantageous but isn't essential. Training can be provided.
We're much more interested in finding somebody who is proactive, confident, switched-on and genuinely interested in understanding the production process than simply somebody who happens to have the right job title.
What You'll Be Doing
Working from the plant control room, you'll help control the production of ready-mix concrete using computerised batching systems.
Your responsibilities will include:
Reviewing scheduled and booked concrete orders
Moving booked work through the production and batching process
Operating and monitoring computerised batching systems
Monitoring batches as they're produced to ensure the correct mix is being delivered
Making appropriate minor adjustments during production where required
Working closely with Shippers to coordinate production, deliveries and drivers
Communicating confidently with drivers regarding loads and production
Working alongside Concrete Technicians to ensure batches meet required quality standards
Carrying out appropriate quality checks on your own work
Monitoring production throughout the shift and identifying potential issues early
Maintaining accurate production information and records
Taking ownership of the quality and consistency of the product being produced
What We're Looking For
Direct ready-mix batching experience would be excellent, but it isn't the only background we'll consider.
You could currently be working as a:
Concrete Batcher
Batch Plant Operator
Ready-Mix Plant Operator
Concrete Plant Operator
Plant Operative
Production Operative
Process Operator
Loading Shovel Operator
Asphalt Plant Operative
Aggregates Plant Operative
If you already understand a production or construction-materials environment and have the aptitude and interest to learn concrete batching, training can be provided.
More important is that you are:
Proactive and willing to take responsibility
Confident communicating with drivers and colleagues
Comfortable working with computerised systems and multiple screens
Able to concentrate and monitor several pieces of information simultaneously
Quality-conscious and willing to check your own work
Comfortable making decisions rather than simply waiting for instruction
Interested in understanding how the plant and product actually work
Reliable and able to work effectively within a busy production environment
Hours & Package
£17.00 – £22.00 per hour depending on experience
Permanent PAYE position
Monday to Friday: 7:00am – 5:00pm
Saturday working may be required, 7:00am – 2:00pm
Full training available for candidates with relevant transferable experience
Apply
Whether you're already an experienced Concrete Batcher or you're currently working within ready-mix, aggregates, asphalt or another relevant plant environment and want to progress, we'd be interested in speaking with you.

Assistant Project Manager
Location: Field-based / Nationwide travel, with a London base
Employment Type: Full-time
Hours: Monday–Friday, with flexibility required for travel and site requirements
Start Date: Immediate / ASAP
The Role
We are looking for an ambitious and proactive Assistant Project Manager to join our clients growing team and take on increasing responsibility across projects nationwide.
This is a hands-on, field-based role rather than a purely administrative position.
The successful candidate will be expected to develop the confidence and capability to manage day-to-day site activities independently, while working closely with the Project Manager and wider management team.
Nationwide travel is an essential part of the role, including regular travel outside London and overnight stays where required.
We are looking for someone who is energetic, self-sufficient and comfortable taking ownership.
You will need to be able to operate independently, communicate confidently with clients, subcontractors and site teams, identify issues early and escalate matters appropriately.
The role offers a clear progression route towards full Project Manager responsibility for the right individual.
Key Responsibilities
Full Site Lifecycle Ownership: Take a project from initial survey and mobilisation through
installation, snagging, and client handover, coordinating crews, subcontractors, and suppliers on site — not simply supporting someone else's site.
Independent Regional Site Management: Confidently run sites at a distance from the main
office, including regional locations outside London and the South East, with minimal day-today supervision, while keeping the relevant project management team properly informed and
escalating issues promptly rather than letting them build up unseen.
Fire-Door Surveys: Conduct detailed fire-door condition surveys in line with BS 8214 / EN 1634 standards, measuring openings and documenting defects or non-compliance's to a standard
that can be used within client-facing reports.
Programme & Progress Reporting: Track your site(s) against programme, flag slippage,
resourcing gaps, or emerging risks early and directly to the Project Manager — problems should be identified and addressed at the earliest opportunity.
Procurement & Resource Coordination: Manage material take-offs, ordering, and delivery
tracking for your site(s), and coordinate operative and subcontractor availability to avoid
scheduling conflicts that could affect the programme.
Health & Safety Ownership: Run site inductions, point-of-work risk assessments, and toolbox
talks, and maintain RAMS/ITP records to an audit-ready standard, taking real ownership of the safety culture on your site.
Client & Subcontractor Liaison: Act as the day-to-day point of contact for clients and
subcontractors on assigned site(s), handling routine issues yourself and escalating matters that genuinely require additional input.
Documentation & Handover Packs: Maintain accurate installation logs, survey reports, and
handover packs, including drawings, certifications and photographic records, so every site
closes out properly and is ready for final sign-off.
Flexible Deployment: Be willing to travel to and support different sites as required, including regional locations and projects that require additional support. This may involve travelling at short notice and staying away overnight where the site location makes daily commuting impractical.
AI & Digital Adaptability: Use project-management, scheduling, reporting and digital tools,
including AI-assisted planning and administrative tools, to keep project information accurate,organised and up to date.
Problem Solving & Escalation: Take a proactive approach to identifying and resolving issues
on site, using your own judgement where appropriate while knowing when an issue needs to
be escalated.
Professional Representation: Represent the business professionally when dealing with
clients, subcontractors, suppliers and other stakeholders, demonstrating confidence, reliability and good judgement when working independently.
Qualifications & Experience
2–4 year's experience in construction, project management or a related environment.
CSCS card required.
