Quarry Manager RecruitmentBristol

Looking for a quarry manager in Bristol? We don't give you candidates, we give you capacity: quarry managers on contract for immediate cover or permanent for the long term, across Bristol and South West. Typical salary £45,000 to £70,000.

The Quarry Manager Role

The Quarry Manager is the statutory duty-holder for the site under the Quarries Regulations 1999, carrying accountability for production output, health & safety, and regulatory compliance in one role. Demand is consistently high because the competence bar (MPQC/EPIC plus operational track record) is narrow and the candidate pool is ageing. Operators lose real money on every day a unit runs without a competent manager, production slips, compliance risk rises, and cover has to be bought in at a premium. ARG maps managers across hard rock, sand & gravel, and recycled aggregates nationally, giving clients both immediate interim cover and permanent succession.

Aggregates in Bristol & South West

The South West around Bristol and the Mendips is a significant limestone quarrying and aggregates region, with major hard-rock operations, rail-linked depots and a strong asphalt and ready-mix presence serving the region's infrastructure programme. Operational and maintenance demand is consistently high.
