We have been mining gypsum for more than 150 years, a heritage we're very proud of.
This is a days-based role working Monday - Friday. Please note we are a 24/7 plant and would therefore require some flexibility out of hours in case of business needs. In reward for your experience and flexibility you'll have access to a fantastic salary and some amazing benefits including a bonus and healthcare options.
