We're looking for a Full Time Permanent Quarry Operator to join our crew at the Dipton Lime Quarry. You'll look after the effective, efficient operation of the processing plant and its machinery, ensuring production of high-quality lime.
You will get to learn how to safely run all our heavy machinery including bulldozers, loaders, excavators, ATD dump trucks, as well as our highly automated processing plant. You will receive training and mentoring from experienced operators to grow your skills and experience.

You will need to be comfortable with technology and embrace the automation technology onsite.
