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 Cardiff & South Wales
