Plant Manager

Job Posted: 7 days ago

Salary: £ 50,000 - 70,000 / Annum
Job Type: Permanent
Location: Longcross, Surrey

Expire in: 20 days

Job Description

A well-established civils, groundworks and RC structures contractor, operating across London and the South East, is seeking to appoint an experienced Plant Manager to support a busy and growing operation.

This position is based out of Longcross, Surrey and will play a key role in supporting live projects and site teams across the region.

The Role:

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role – suited to someone who enjoys being on the ground and directly involved in day-to-day operations, rather than purely overseeing from a distance.
You’ll take ownership of the business’s plant and equipment, ensuring it is:

  * Available, compliant and properly maintained

  * Correctly allocated across live civils and groundworks projects

  * Cost-effective, efficient and fit for purpose

Key responsibilities include:

  * Managing in-house plant and hired equipment

  * Arranging servicing, inspections, certification and repairs

  * Liaising closely with site teams to understand real-time plant requirements

  * Controlling plant costs, utilisation and downtime

  * Supporting safe systems of work and smooth project delivery

This is very much a “doer” role, not a desk-based management position.

About You:

The ideal candidate will come from a small to medium-sized civils or groundworks contractor, where being proactive and involved in the detail is essential.

You are likely to have:

  * Proven experience managing plant within civils, groundworks, RC frames or enabling works

  * Strong practical knowledge of construction plant and logistics

  * A solutions-led, hands-on approach

  * Confidence working closely with site management and senior leaders

Formal qualifications are welcome, but practical experience and attitude are key.

What’s on Offer:

  * Long-term role within a stable, well-regarded contractor

  * Real autonomy and ownership of the plant function

  * Salary of £50k–£70k, dependent on experience

  * Company vehicle included
