Fixed Plant Operative Apprentice

The Opportunity

The way we build is changing, and you could be part of what comes next.

At Holcim UK, we're finding new ways to make construction more sustainable, innovative and ready for the future. From homes and schools to hospitals and major infrastructure, what we do helps shape the places people live, work and grow.

With more than 4,000 colleagues across over 200 sites in the UK, you'll be joining a team that's making a real difference every day.

This isn't just about learning a trade. It's about gaining real skills, working with people who know their stuff and playing your part in building a more sustainable future.

Get Production Moving

Enjoy hands-on work in an active environment? Want to learn how to operate the heavy machinery that keeps our sites running? Ready to start earning while you learn?

Then come and build your future with Holcim UK.

As a Fixed Plant Operative Apprentice, you'll learn how to safely operate, monitor and maintain the large-scale equipment, like crushers, screens and conveyors, that produces our sustainable building materials.

Get stuck in from day one

You'll be working alongside experienced plant supervisors and operatives, getting hands on with heavy static machinery and production processes and learning how things work in the real world.

You'll build practical skills in plant operation, preventative maintenance, production monitoring and health & safety, while working towards a nationally recognised qualification.

Every day will bring something different. You'll have the chance to learn, ask questions, try things out and build your confidence as you go.

And because you'll be learning on the job, you'll see the impact of what you do straight away.

Who are we looking for?

You don't need to know everything about plant operations already.

We're looking for people who are practical, safety-conscious and ready to get stuck in. If you're the kind of person who enjoys active work, working in a plant environment and being part of a team that keeps things moving, we'd love to hear from you.

You'll also have the opportunity to show us what you can do through a practical skills assessment, giving you the chance to demonstrate your natural ability and problem solving skills.

Ready to build something bigger?

You'll earn while you learn, gain a recognised qualification and build real experience that can take you wherever you want to go.

Your career starts here. Come build it with Holcim UK.
