Quarry Manager RecruitmentSheffield

Looking for a quarry manager in Sheffield? We don't give you candidates, we give you capacity: quarry managers on contract for immediate cover or permanent for the long term, across Sheffield and South Yorkshire / Peak District. 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.
