Why Tarmac

Before Tarmac I worked for 19 years in different industries from IT distribution to manufacturing, retail operation and food production. Tarmac is one of major players in quarry materials, which means we must constantly deliver improvements in performance, innovation, safety and efficiency to satisfy our customers.

Tarmac gives you real responsibility and autonomy but also has the support structure and the training opportunities to help you succeed.  Because Tarmac is a large company there are plenty of opportunities for people with diverse skills, qualifications and backgrounds.

A bit about your role

My job is never boring – every day and every situation is different and I never know what I will be dealing with next! I love the challenges of my job and always feel that I have the support and back-up I need. Furthermore, my role means I get the opportunity to travel to almost all of our Tarmac sites and work with lots of different people.

Currently, I’m working as sustaining change agent for Colchester and Stancombe regional office mainly in distribution, internal sales and business administration.

As a sustainer, I work closely with the supervisor by facilitate training and coaching and assist on continuous improvement to enhance their department business performance.
