About Simtec

The role
You may be a Site Supervisor already, or a Senior Site Technician looking for a step up. You'll run day-to-day site services, reporting to the Asphalt and Earthworks Operations Manager.

Carry out site safety inspections and make sure everyone follows the rules
Book and deliver training, including CSCS and HE passport courses
Keep the site store organised, with kit calibrated, allocated and repaired
Check vehicles, review driving reports and sort fleet issues with the fleet coordinator
Handle absence records and first-stage disciplinaries through Bright HR
What you'll bring
Essential:
A solid background as a senior site technician and/or supervision in construction materials testing
Hands-on site testing experience on asphalt or earthworks
A full UK driving licence
Useful, not essential:
Experience mentoring or supervising other technicians
A current CSCS card and HE passport
