The posting

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.

Quality Control Technician

Do you have an eye for detail, a passion for quality and enjoy working in a hands-on environment?

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.

What you’ll be doing

As a Quality Control Technician, you’ll be responsible for:

  • Carrying out sampling, field testing and specimen preparation for Concrete, Asphalt and Aggregate products
  • Ensuring testing is completed in line with relevant British and European standards and company procedures
  • Carrying out concrete sampling, testing and specimen preparation
  • Completing asphalt and aggregate sampling and testing
  • Supporting preliminary investigations at plants and customer sites
  • Investigating product and quality issues and providing feedback to technical and operational teams
  • Reviewing water demand within ready-mixed concrete, including plant moisture content testing
  • Reviewing site practices and identifying opportunities for improvement
  • Investigating truck delivery practices and potential delivery-related issues
  • Reviewing variations in product consistency and helping identify potential causes
  • Raising Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) and Near Hits where appropriate
  • Supporting the safe transportation of test specimens
  • Challenging behaviours that could negatively impact safety or quality

What we’re looking for

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.

Why this role?

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.

If you’re practical, quality-focused and ready to develop your career within the construction materials industry, we’d love to hear from you.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
