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
