Quality Control Technician

Heidelberg Materials UK (formerly Hanson UK) is one of the UK’s largest suppliers of construction materials, employing over 4,000 people and operating around 300 manufacturing sites in the UK.

We are committed to building a more sustainable future and recognise that a diverse workforce is vital to our growth and advancement. We aim to promote a culture that values openness, transparency and individual achievement.

At the centre of our actions lies the responsibility for the environment. As the front runner on the path to carbon neutrality and circular economy in the building materials industry, we are working on sustainable building materials and solutions for the future. We enable new opportunities for our customers through digitalisation.

We’re looking for a proactive and safety-focused Quality Control Technician to join our team.

This is a varied role where you’ll work across our Concrete, Asphalt and Aggregate operations, carrying out sampling and testing to make sure our products consistently meet the required standards. You’ll work closely with both technical and operational teams, helping to investigate issues, improve quality and ensure we continue to deliver products our customers can rely on.

You’ll be someone who takes pride in getting things right and isn’t afraid to speak up when standards aren’t being met.

You’ll ideally bring:

• →A strong commitment to health, safety and quality
• →Excellent attention to detail
• →Good communication and problem-solving skills
• →A practical, hands-on approach to your work
• →The confidence to identify and raise quality concerns
• →The ability to work independently while building strong relationships with operational and technical colleagues
• →Good organisational skills and the ability to manage priorities across different sites and activities

Experience within construction materials, concrete, asphalt, aggregates, quarrying or laboratory testing would be beneficial, but a positive attitude and willingness to learn are equally important.

This is more than just a testing role. You’ll have the opportunity to see how our products perform from plant to customer, developing your technical knowledge while playing a key part in maintaining the quality and safety standards our business is built on.

Whether you’re carrying out testing, investigating a product issue or working with colleagues to improve site practices, your work will make a real difference.
