Plant Operative Apprenticeship
HOLCIM UK LIMITED
About the Role
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an essential part of our business responsible for producing high-quality asphalt products for roads, infrastructure and construction projects.
You’ll be based on-site, working alongside experienced plant operators and engineers who will support you as you learn to operate both mobile and static plant safely and efficiently.
You’ll gain experience processing raw materials, producing asphalt to specification and maintaining specialist plant and equipment. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys hands-on work, problem-solving, and understanding how complex machinery operates in real-world conditions.
You’ll spend most of your time learning on the job, taking part in daily tasks and gradually building the confidence to operate plant independently, monitor product quality, conduct inspections, and follow safe operating procedures.
This role is perfect for someone who enjoys practical work, being outdoors, working in a team and seeing a project come together from start to finish.
Your curiosity, willingness to get involved and ability to stay focused will help you progress quickly.
You will gain real industry experience, a recognised qualification and the chance to build a long-term career in a growing sector.
You’ll learn to operate plant safely in industrial environments, monitor and maintain production quality, work with colleagues effectively, and contribute to the team’s operational success.
Opportunities for career progression both at home and abroad.
