Step into a truly unique role with Holcim Specialist Sands at our Leighton Buzzard site as a General Operative. This isn’t your average plant job—you’ll be working with some of the most specialist and sought-after sand in the UK, playing a key part in an operation that includes one-of-a-kind equipment like our dredging operation. If you're looking for a hands-on role with variety, training, and the chance to work with unique materials in a close-knit, high-performing team, this is it.

• Gain experience with both mobile and fixed plant, including rare hands-on involvement with a dredger—a unique opportunity in UK quarrying.
  

• Learn, grow, and progress your career with structured support and real opportunities for advancement both locally and internationally.

• Operate a range of mobile and fixed plant (such as loading shovels, dump trucks, and weighbridges).
  

• Support our dredging operation—a stand-out feature of our site that sets this role apart from other general operative positions.
  

• Carry out product quality checks to ensure the sand meets the highest specifications.
  

• Help dispatch our products efficiently and safely while contributing to the day-to-day running of the quarry and plant.
  

• Maintain high standards of safety and housekeeping across the site.
  

• A positive, can-do attitude with a genuine willingness to learn and grow.
