We are currently looking for an experienced Site Operations Manager to run our ELV process, who will be responsible and accountable for the safe and efficient operation of all processes within this department.

This role, whilst being operational, is also at the very forefront of helping us to achieve our social value targets, as around 40% of the workforce are employees who have come through one of our social welfare programmes. Therefore a positive, approachable attitude is key to succeed in this role.
